In most cases, hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection causes a self-limiting benign acute hepatitis which confers permanent acquired immunity. However, in patients with pre-existing chronic hepatitis, HAV superinfection can cause acute hepatitis with severe progression leading to a fulminant form or linked to the risk of a rapid deterioration of hepatic function. For such a reason, some Authors recommend anti-HAV vaccination for subjects with HCV-correlated chronic hepatitis before the initiation of peg-Interferon and Ribavirin treatment. Subsequently, the real prevalence of IgG anti-HAV antibodies in patients with HC HCV-related and in healthy subjects from Eastern Sicily has been verified.
