Bulgaria: Poor Water sanitation increases Hepatitis A spreads
New hepatitis A cases, averaging more than 80 a week in the past month, were
reported in a Bulgaria neighborhood, where poor water sanitation and hygiene
are aiding the disease's spread. New cases of the virus, which causes
inflammation of the liver without chronic disease, have climbed 45 percent
this year across the East European country, according to Eurosurveillance,
an online journal of peer-reviewed information on communicable
diseases.
