Antibody to Hepatitis A Virus after Overt and Asymptomatic Hepatitis A Infection

Antibody to Hepatitis A Virus after Overt and Asymptomatic Hepatitis A Infection

The titres of antibody to hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) were found to fall rapidly during 3-4 years after hepatitis A and more slowly thereafter, though they never reached undetectable levels in at least 23 years. The levels of anti-HAV in convalescents after overt hepatitis A were found to be signif...

Zusammenfassung:The titres of antibody to hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) were found to fall rapidly during 3-4 years after hepatitis A and more slowly thereafter, though they never reached undetectable levels in at least 23 years. The levels of anti-HAV in convalescents after overt hepatitis A were found to be significantly much higher than in those who had anti-HAV as a result of asymptomatic infection.
