ABSTRACT
The prevalence of hepatitis A virus infection, in a population as well as the age at which it is usually acquired reflect the prevailing socio-economic conditions and standards of public hygiene. Infection occurs equally in both the sexes. Black Africans are known to have a high prevalence of hepatitis A virus infection and do acquire the infection early in life. This study documents the age-specific prevalence in Owambo children and confirms an equal sex distribution.
