Hepatitis A Outbreak in New Jersey
(New Jersey Star-Ledger) At least three students at an elementary school in Cranford, New Jersey, have recently been infected with the hepatitis A virus, and health officials said yesterday they have not yet determined the source of the contamination. All of the students are 11-year-old female fifth-graders at the Orange Avenue School who be came ill last week. School Superintendent Lawrence Feinsod was cited as saying contamination through the handling of food in the school's cafeteria has been effectively ruled out because all of the victims are from the same grade, adding, "Had it come from the cafeteria, the contamination would have been more widespread throughout the school."
