Popis: Summary Epidemiological investigation of notifications of infective jaundice in Leeds early in 1978 identified 41 cases associated with the consumption of mussels from a common source. Serum samples were obtained from 35 of these patients and all were HBsAg negative. A high level of antibody to hepatitis A was demonstrated in the majority of sera tested.
