Multi-State Outbreak of Hepatitis A
Indiana is currently part of a multi-state outbreak of Hepatitis A. The state historically sees fewer than 20 cases a year. But in 2018, Indiana surpassed 900 confirmed cases of Hepatitis A — with more than 50 cases confirmed in Allen County.
Hepatitis A is a highly contagious virus that attacks the liver, causing fever, nausea, abdominal pain and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). It is spread through exposure to the fecal matter of an infected person, either through close person-to-person contact or contaminated food or water. Transmission of the Indiana outbreak is presumed to be occurring person to person; no contaminated commercial food product has been identified to be associated with this outbreak.
Getting the Hepatitis A vaccine is the best protection! To reduce the risk of Hepatitis A transmission, people who have not received two doses of the vaccine may ask their healthcare providers for protection. And always wash your hands with soap and water after going to the bathroom and changing diapers and before preparing meals for yourself and others.
