“…This result suggests the contamination of rivers and streams with untreated sewage. Several outbreaks of acute hepatitis A have been shown to be associated with contact with contaminated water [ 36 , 37 ]. All of these studies demonstrated that the quality of water and how it is regularly used is a major question in hepatitis A transmission, regardless of how exposure to water of poor quality was measured.…”

BackgroundHepatitis A is still a neglected health problem in the world. The most affected areas are the ones with disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions. In Brazil, seroprevalence studies showed that 64.7 % of the general population has antibodies against HAV (hepatitis A virus), and the Amazon region has the highest seroprevalence in the country.MethodsIn the present study the seroprevalence of total HAV antibodies in children between 1 and 5 years old residing in the urban area of Assis Brasil, Acre was measured and spatial distribution of several socioeconomic inequities was evaluated.ResultsIn the year of 2011, seroprevalence rate was 16.66 %. Factors associated with having a positive serology identified by multivariate analysis were being of indigenous ethnicity [adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) = 3.27, CI 1.45–7.28], usage of water from the public system (aOR = 8.18, CI 1.07–62.53), living in a house not located in a street (aOR = 3.48, CI 1.54–7.87), and child age over 4 years old (aOR = 2.43, CI 1.23–4.79). The distribution of seropositive children was clustered in the eastern part of the city, where several socioeconomic inequities (lack of flushed toilets, lack of piped water inside the household and susceptibility of the household to flooding during rain, low maternal education, having wood or ground floor at home, and not owning a house, lack of piped water at home, and type of drinking water) also clustered.ConclusionsThe findings highlight that sanitation and water treatment still need improvement in the Brazilian Amazon, and that socioeconomic development is warranted in order to decrease this and other infectious diseases.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12879-015-1164-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…O maior número de casos notificados de Hepatite A ocorreu entre os anos de 2008 e 2009. Esse aumento no número de casos em relação ao último ano corrobora com os estudosde Tauil et al (2009), que revelaram um grande aumento de notificações do agravo no município de Luziânia, região do entorno do Distrito Federal.…”
