Abstract
A jaundice epidemic broke out in Rairangpur town of Orissa during December 1989 to January 1990. The attack rate was 1.2 per cent with 89.8 per cent cases among 11-40 years age group. Male-female ratio of cases was 2.3:1. The source of infection was traced to contamination of drinking water from leakage in the pipe line which was confirmed by a subsequent case control study. The outbreak was due to enterically transmitted Non A Non B hepatitis virus.Entities:
