Group (no. of patients) Value for the following characteristica (mean ± SD):
Age (yr) ALTb level (times the upper limit of normal) Interval between hepatitis onset and blood sampling (days) HAV viremia (log10 copies/ml)
All genotypes (44) 25.7 ± 15.7 79.0 ± 55.7 6.9 ± 6.2 4.6 ± 1.2
Subgenotype IA (10) 21.1 ± 13.5 88.1 ± 52.5 7.1 ± 8.6 5.9 ± 1.3*
Subgenotype IB (10) 20.4 ± 12.2 70.4 ± 47.2 7.0 ± 4.8 4.1 ± 0.9
Subgenotype IIIA (10) 33.3 ± 17.1 86.0 ± 41.8 8.1 ± 6.8 4.4 ± 0.8
Subgenotype IIA (14) 27.6 ± 16.9 72.8 ± 74.9 4.7 ± 2.9 4.0 ± 0.8*
a

There was no statistical difference in these parameters between the different genotypes except for viremia, which differed between patients infected with subgenotype IA and those infected with subgenotype IIA (P = 0.03) (indicated by asterisks).
