“…These results are in line with those found in our previous report of a study performed using environmental samples (4) and in other seroprevalence studies demonstrating that higher HAV rates were found in the inland region and in the south of Tunisia (37,41) than in big coastal cities (36,37). It has been reported that HAV infection is still highly endemic in developing countries, with differences in epidemiological patterns that are mainly associated with the development of socioeconomic and hygienic conditions (3,6,7,12).…”

“…This result is in accordance with environmental studies conducted in the country, including analysis of wastewater samples, where HAV rates ranged between 46% and 68.3% (4,31,40). Seroprevalence data in Tunisia and in some regions of the Middle East and North Africa showed high HAV endemicity also, with levels ranging between 83% and 96.4% (12,31,36,37).…”

“…However one out of 10 patients arrives to the adult age without having been in contact with the HAV as reported previously [25], these individuals can make a firstlyinfection therefore to an age sometimes advanced relatively with a severe clinical expression [19]. The current evidence that an important proportion of the population of young people is susceptible to HAV infection has a number of public health implications.…”

“…Ce risque transfusionnel est particulièrement présent dans les pays endémiques pour ce virus. La prévalence décrite dans le groupe témoin (10 %) dénote une circulation importante du VHE en Tunisie comme précédemment décrit [2,16,28]. Le risque élevé d'infection par le VHE a été noté aussi bien chez l'adulte que chez l'enfant polytransfusé.…”
