A waterborne outbreak of hepatitis A in Meade County, Kentucky.

G H Bergeisen, M W Hinds, J W Skaggs.   

Abstract

In November 1982, Meade County, Kentucky health officials noted a sudden increase in the incidence of hepatitis A. Using a standardized interview of 73 cases (68 serologically confirmed), and 85 controls (all negative for antibody to hepatitis A virus), the most important risk factor identified was household use of untreated water from a single spring. A dose-response relationship was found for consumption of unboiled spring water. Water samples taken from the spring during the outbreak were contaminated with fecal coliforms.
