Resumo: The prevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies was assessed in adolescents (age ranging from 10.4 to 19.9 years) at an Adolescent Outpatient Clinic in São Paulo, Brazil. Anti-HAV was detected in 137 (54.2%) out of 253 individuals. When separated into two age groups, anti-HAV frequency was higher in the 15 to 19 year-old group (64%) in comparison to the 10 to 14 year-old group (46%) (Chi-square test: p = 0.004). These results suggest that adolescents in São Paulo are at risk of hepatitis A infection and are probably contracting HAV infection during this age period.

A prevalência de anticorpos contra o vírus da hepatite A foi avaliada em adolescentes de 10,4 a 19,9 anos atendidos no Ambulatório de Adolescentes da Universidade Federal de São Paulo. Entre 253 indivíduos analisados, a prevalência de anticorpos foi de 54,2%. Quando os adolescentes foram separados em duas faixas etárias, a prevalência foi maior no grupo de 15 a 19 anos (64%) em comparação com os de 10 a 14 anos (46%) (Qui-quadrado: p = 0,004). Estes resultados sugerem que muitos adolescentes de São Paulo estão sob risco de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite A e alguns deles estão provavelmente se infectando durante a adolescência.
