FOODBORNE HEPATITIS A INFECTION: A REPORT OF TWO URBAN RESTAURANT-ASSOCIATED OUTBREAKS

The cities of Portland, Oregon, and Buffalo, New York, each experienced a restaurant-associated foodborne outbreak of viral hepatitis type A during 1975. Although there were several food handlers ill with viral hepatitis A in each of the restaurants involved, each outbreak was the apparent result of...

description	The cities of Portland, Oregon, and Buffalo, New York, each experienced a restaurant-associated foodborne outbreak of viral hepatitis type A during 1975. Although there were several food handlers ill with viral hepatitis A in each of the restaurants involved, each outbreak was the apparent result of food contamination by a single food handler. In the Buffalo outbreak, food contamination was documented to have occurred for a brief period of time six days prior to onset of any symptoms in the index case. These outbreaks point out the uncommon occurrence of food contamination by individuals ill with type A viral hepatitis, the usefulness of two types of food questionnaires in identifying the vehicle(s) of transmission, and the apparent lack of benefit of widespread immune serum globulin administration as a control measure in this setting.
