Article Synopsis
- - The study examined liver disease prevalence in Lara, a rural community in Argentina, known for high rates of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV) infection among children and lacking basic amenities like electricity and clean water.
- - A total of 102 residents participated, revealing that while HAV infection rates were high among adults (89%), children had significantly lower exposure (35%), especially those under 5 years old.
- - Findings showed that adults had mild liver issues like steatosis and gallstones, with no evidence of Hepatitis B or C infections, but the serological tests for other conditions like echinococcal disease suggested high false-positive rates.
