“…A segurança de seu uso em gestantes não foi avaliada. As citações que avaliaram a freqüência de eventos adversos à vacinação em indivíduos previamente imunes à HA são escassas 6 , mas de maneira geral não se nota diferença nesses casos.…”

A new, safe, highly immunogenic and probably long term effective inactivated hepatitis A virus vaccine has been licensed for clinical use. Clinical trials in developed countries have demonstrated its efficacy in preventing hepatitis A in high risk groups, such as travelers to regions where HAV infection is endemic and day care children and staff, its efficacy in postexposure conditions and in community outbreaks. The authors review the basic and changing features of the disease and its epidemiology in specific geographical regions trying to elucidate its use in the control of the disease in developing countries, especially in Brazil. Taking in consideration its efficacy, safety and immunogenicity, the inactivated hepatitis A vaccine may be of extreme value in terms of individual protection. Because this vaccine is so new, there are no formal recommendations for its use in developing countries, and appropriate public health use of hepatitis A vaccine requires up-to-date epidemiological information.

“…Studies have shown that tourists and other travellers to endemic regions [2,12,18,19,24,26], health care workers [13,27], food handlers [7,15,28], personnel of day-care centres and some other smaller groups are such risk groups. Concerning the professional ®eld of sewerage and sewerage workers it was shown, that HAV can persist in waste water or sludges for long periods [8,25].…”

Since task profiles and occupational exposure differ strongly within the job category of sewerage workers. evaluation of endangerment has to reflect individual task-related exposure. The task-exposure matrix developed and presented in this study is a practicable and valid instrument for exposure assessment and may be used for the exposure analysis of further biological agents in this working environment. Besides the known risk parameters age and origin, our study demonstrates a dose-response relationship between the degree of occupational exposure and the anti-HAV seroprevalence. Therefore, an effective worksite HAV-prevention programme should consider all technical, structural and educational measures that help to reduce individual exposure.

“…In Europe the seroprevalence has decreased rapidly during the last decades.Values of < 10% are currently observed in the younger generation. Tourists and other travelers to endemic regions [11][12][13][14], food handlers [15][16][17], sewage and (probably) sewage workers [18][19][20], and some other smaller groups are considered as risk groups. Health care workers and personnel of day care centers are also at higher risk for infections with HAV [21,22].…”
