12 January 2018

According to an update from the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC), the Hepatitis A outbreak that started in June 2016 in the MSM community (men who have sex with men) has now affected 24 countries across the region and is spreading into the wider population: ‘A considerable increase in the number of Hepatitis A cases caused by the outbreak strain in women has also been observed. This indicates that the outbreak has spilled over to the non MSM population.’
