Area of Science:

Context:

In 1998, 2011 cases of Hepatitis A were reported, marking a significant decrease from the previous year.
Incidence rates were comparable between rural and urban populations, with the highest rates observed in the NW and Central regions.
Children aged 10-14 represented 19.6% of all reported cases.

Purpose:

To analyze the epidemiological trends of Hepatitis A in 1998.
To evaluate the effectiveness of Hepatitis A vaccination in a specific region following a natural disaster.

Summary:

The study reported 2011 cases of Hepatitis A in 1998, with an incidence rate of 5.2 per 100,000, a nearly 50% reduction from the prior year.
Geographically, the NW and Central parts of the country exhibited the highest incidence rates.
Vaccination efficacy was demonstrated by a substantially lower incidence rate in a flooded area compared to a neighboring region after the 1997 deluge, with no subsequent epidemic reported.
