Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection remains a significant public health concern in many developing countries. The annual incidence of HAV infection is 1.5 million, though this figure may be underestimated owing to the infection's asymptomatic nature and the presence of milder disease variants. The clinical spectrum of HAV infection now ranges from asymptomatic infection to fulminant hepatitis.
