[Epidemiological studies of viral hepatitis with and without HB antigen by means of complex studies in families].

The results of an epidemiological and laboratory investigation on 242 adults and children, who had come in contact with patients suffering from viral hepatitis (in the family or outside it), showed the importance of family contact and the role of routes of transmission other than the parenteral and transfusional ones in viral hepatitis with positive HB antigen. Attention is likewise drawn to the importance of the laboratory tests (classical enzymatic tests and immunoelectrodiffusion) in the detection of epidemogenic sources, represented by the subclinical forms of infection.

Epidemiological investigations on viral hepatitis in preschool and school communities. Note II. Evaluation of the prophylactic efficiency of standard gammaglobulin administration.

At the beginning of the 1977--1978 schoolyear 10% standard gammaglobulin (0.03 ml/kg body weight) was administered to 974 preschool children and 530 schoolchildren. Representative groups of children were tested serologically and virologically before gammaglobulin administration and 3 months afterwards. No statistically significant reductions of viral hepatitis morbidity were recorded in the protected groups as against controls.
