The increase of viral hepatitis incidence in 2006 is related mainly to two hepatitis A outbreaks in the regions of Sofia and Plovdiv.
In highly endemic regions (such as Africa, Asia, and Central and South America) outbreaks of disease are uncommon because infection occurs during early childhood, when it is mostly asymptomatic.
Outbreaks of symptomatic disease are more common in countries where the economy is in transition, as a decrease in hepatitis A circulation increases the susceptibility of the population, and increases the proportion of symptomatic cases [2].
