Abstract:
An epidemic of jaundice in pregnancy is described. The mortality during the first 2 years was 45%, but decreased as the epidemic waned. Biochemical, social and epidemiological investigations revealed that the cause was probably the hepatitis group A virus. No previous epidemics appear to have occurred in South Africa.
