Abstract

An unvaccinated adult migrant from Comoros to France presented with fulminant hepatitis A after a 5-month-stay in Comoros visiting friends and relatives. People who have lived in hepatitis A endemic areas should be tested for hepatitis A virus (HAV) IgG before travelling to an HAV hyperendemic country to assess the benefit of vaccination.
