摘要: AIM: During the 1990s, a changing pattern of epidemiology hepatitis A was reported in different populations India. The present study undertaken to investigate molecular virus (HAV) strains over period 10 years. METHODS: Stool/serum samples were collected from patients clinically presenting acute viral and hepatic encephalopathy. Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) performed detect HAV-RNA. HAV genomes examined by sequencing PCR products VP1/2A junction (168 bp) RNA (116 regions. RESULTS: Subgenotype IIIA IB detected 74.2% 9.7% specimens, respectively, while 16.1% had mixed infections. Sewage also showed presence both (9/10) (1/10) subgenotypes. region two clusters constituting 51.6% 19.4% closer Nor21 HM175 strains, clinical specimens. Three isolates appeared as discordant subgenotypes CONCLUSION: data revealed cocirculation coinfection with IB, predominance genetic heterogeneity western
