ABSTRACT
Hepatitis A characteristically is an acute, self-limited illness associated with fever, malaise, jaundice, anorexia, and nausea. The development in the socio-economic status and public health of Korea over the last 30 years have been accompanied by a shift in age-specific rates of hepatitis A. This lowered endemicity has caused an upward shift in the average age of infection, resulting in a larger number of individuals at risk of clinically significant hepatitis A infection. Vaccination is the most effective means of preventing hepatitis A virus transmission among persons at risk for infection.
