31 Portuguese individuals in the Lisbon area, including 8 symptomatic children from an acute hepatitis A outbreak in a Roma community, 22 patients with acute HAV from sporadic cases, and 1 CSF sample from a meningitis case

Outcome

Detection and molecular characterization of HAV genome

The molecular epidemiology of HAV infection in Portugal shows co-circulation of sub-genotypes IA and IB, similar to other European countries.
