Abstract
The prevalence of hepatitis A antibodies in the adult population of the Murcia Region (southeast of Spain) was estimated using an anonymous unlinked serosurvey in a population-based sample of 2,203 adults. The overall anti-HAV prevalence was 76.5%. The prevalence increased with age and was higher in individuals living in towns with less than 10,000 inhabitants.
