title: [The current perspectives of hepatitis A prevention].
abstract: In the paper the current views on HAV infection patterns of endemicity (high, intermediate and low) are presented, based on WHO informal consultation on the public health control of hepatitis A, C and E in Geneva (5-6.10.92). The epidemiological situation of HAV in Poland (1983-1992) is described, but based on symptomatic cases of non-B cases reporting. The highest morbidity in children aged 8-14 years, seasonal and cyclical variation in numbers of reported cases in Poland are specific for intermediate endemicity geographical areas. A special attention was paid to WHO recommendations for application of passive and active immunization against HAV in specific areas of endemicity.
