“…In addition, some cases have required liver transplantation [22,23], which indicates that symptomatic and/or severe hepatitis A is possible among children. Furthermore, awareness among parents and pediatricians (based on the hepatitis A explosion during the late 2000s) has likely increased the number of children who have undergone diagnostic testing [24].…”

OBJECTIVESThis study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of hepatitis A in Korea from 2002 to 2012 using age-period-cohort analyses.METHODSWe used claims data from the Korean National Health Insurance Corporation for the entire population. Census data from 2010 were used as the standard population. The incidence of hepatitis A was assumed to have a Poisson distribution, and the models and effects were evaluated using the intrinsic estimator method, the likelihood ratio, and the Akaike information criterion.RESULTSThe incidence of hepatitis A gradually increased until 2007 (from 17.55 to 35.72 per 100,000 population) and peaked in 2009 (177.47 per 100,000 population). The highest incidence was observed among 27-29-year-old individuals when we omitted data from 2005 to 2007. From 2005 to 2007, the peak incidence was observed among 24-26-year-old individuals, followed by 27-29-year-olds. The best model fits were observed when the age-period-cohort variables were all considered at the same time for males, females, and the whole population.CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of hepatitis A exhibited significant age-period-cohort effects; its incidence peaked in 2009 and was especially high among Koreans 20-39 years of age. These epidemiological patterns may help predict when high incidence rates of hepatitis A may occur in developing countries during their socioeconomic development.

“…Thirdly, associations between Bell's palsy/other cranial nerve palsies and HEV/HAV infection have been previously described. 5,10,12,23 Many viruses (including hepatotropic viruses) may trigger neurologic manifestations, as in Guillain-Barré syndrome. The mechanism of such nerve damage is possibly caused by crossreacting immune response.…”

“…[123] A recent review on the prevalence of serological markers of hepatitis, cytomegalovirus and rubella in patients with Bell's palsy revealed a serological positivity for hepatitis B in 15 out of 21 patients (71%) as against 32.1% positivity in the control group. No relation was noted in the above study with hepatitis A serological positivity.…”
