Abstract
In an epidemic of 24 cases of infectious hepatitis in a small lumbering community, the majority of cases occurred in children. Sixteen of them were pupils in one school. The school apparently was the focus for the spread of infection, which is thought to have been through contact between persons. Five multiple case households with eight secondary cases were observed. With one exception, gamma globulin was not used for the prophylaxis of infectious hepatitis in families in which one member had the disease.
