Abstract
In an outbreak of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection in a special needs school salivary testing was used to identify those recently infected and those who were immune. The value of such testing as an epidemiological and outbreak control tool is discussed. HAV vaccine rather than human normal immunoglobulin was used to bring the outbreak under control.Entities:
