Hepatitis outbreaks in state

j 1 pidemics like the Black
H Death, which by 1350 had
XL-i killed off as much as half of
Europe's population, are nonexist
ent today. But health departments
manage to stay busy by coping with
outbreaks of other easily transmitted
.diseases.
Health departments in Alamance,
Forsyth and Guilford counties have
had to cope with hepatitis A out
breaks in recent months. But,

for the Oranee Countv Health
.Department, it has been six or seven
.years since there has been a case of
hepatitis A in a food handler in this
.'area. She said the department
"recently immunized several Orange

to the outbreak there.
Though caused by different vir
uses and spread in different ways,
the two types of hepatitis, A and B,
are similar in some aspects.

The Community School for Peo
ple Under Six is a day-care school
that was started in 1970 as a service
to middle- and low-income families
unable to afford the high price of
day care.
By trying to maintain a balance of
50 percent white and 50 percent
minority children, the school tries to
educate children about the differen
often spread through intravenous
drug use and sexual contact, much
like the AIDS virus. But Hepatitis A
can be spread by food or water that
is contaminated by the feces of an
infected person.
Hepatitis A becomes a significant
public health issue when a restau
rant employee, or anyone who han
dles others' food, becomes infected
with the virus. An infected person's
failure to thoroughly wash his hands
after a bowel movement is the most
frequent way of spreading the dis
ease. The disease is especially likely
to be spread if the handled food is
served uncooked, such as salads,
sliced meats, milk, raw seafood or
desserts.
Peggy Lemon, the assistant nurs
ing director of the Forsyth County
Health Department, explained that
health officials are generally more
concerned about reported cases of
hepatitis A than case B.
"Because it is spread through
food, we immediately look for a res
taurant or some common source,"
Lemon said. "We interview all cases
of hepatitis A in order to confirm
the source of the virus." She said
that there is no extensive investiga
tion for hepatitis B cases.
"We will recommend to a person
infected with the B virus that anyone
they have had contact with sexually

ces in all people and teach them

The staff is more exacting with
parents, asking them to serve on the
administrative board, assist in the
fund-raising projects and volunteer
some of their time for field trips and
other programs.
The United Way also helps out
with scholarships for children who
cannot afford the school. And the
staff sells T-shirts at concerts in the
Smith Center and programs at UNC
come in for an immunization,"
Lemon said. "But there is not the
same sort of follow-up as in the case
of hepatitis A, which is such a public
health thing."
Doris Wedding of the N.C. Di
vision of Health Services said there
were no reported cases of hepatitis
A in Orange County in 1988. There
were six reported cases of hepatitis
B.
Gregory said the gamma globulin
injections administered to people
who have been exposed to the hepa
titis A virus are provided to health
departments by the state. Gamma
globulin can prevent the illness if
given up to two weeks after expo
sure to the virus.
Illness caused by the hepatitis A
virus occurs suddenly, usually about
a month after the person has been
exposed to the virus. Symptoms
include fever, weakness, loss of
appetite, nausea, stomach pain,
jaundice (yellowing of the skin or
eyeballs) and dark urine.
The elderly are more likely to
have a severe case, and Lemon
noted that hepatitis A is rarely fatal.
The same is true of hepatitis B,
but a person who has been exposed
to the virus can become a lifetime
"carrier, " who can infect others even
after the illness is gone.

it does not follow a strict agenda.
Instead, the show is loosely struc

participation.
