[Multiyear and seasonal hepatitis A morbidity in different population age groups in certain areas].
At the areas with high activity of hepatitis A (HA) epidemic process the duration of epidemic cycles was shown to differ, the intervals between the peaks of morbidity increasing in older age groups. The beginning of seasonal rises exceeding the average annual HA morbidity level in different age groups was found to depend on the activity of the epidemic process. At the areas with the highest activity of the epidemic process children aged 1-2 years were the first to be affected by the seasonal rise of HA. Stable direct correlation between HA morbidity levels at the beginning of seasonal rises and some markers indicative of unfavorable sanitary conditions (the size of the fly population, the purity of water samples deviating from the requirement of the Government Standard) during the preceding year was demonstrated.
