Abstract

The present study was aimed at determining the seroprevalence of anti-HAV in children and adolescents in the city of Adana, Turkey. The overall prevalence of anti-HAV was 44.4% (316/711). The prevalence increased with advancing age i.e. 28.8% (2.1-6 yr), 49.8% (6.1-12 yr), and 68% (12.1-16.5 yr) (P < 0.0001). Seroprevalence was significantly lower in children less than 6 years and belonging to higher socioeconomic status.
