Abstract
We studied the seroprevalence of anti-HAV IgG in children of Bijapur a tier III city/backward district in Karnataka and its relation with sociodemographic parameters. Out of 142 children, 6 months to 15 years who were included, 63 (44.4%) were sero positive, suggesting that Bijapur is a low endemic area.
