Epidemic and endemic hepatitis in India: evidence for a non-A, non-B hepatitis virus aetiology

D C Wong et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

69 serum pairs from two common-source water-borne outbreaks and one series of endemic cases of hepatitis in three parts of India were tested for hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus infections. None of the patients had evidence of HAV infection and only 10.1% had evidence of HBV infection. A large proportion of hepatitis in India seems to be caused by previously unrecognised agents.
