Hepatitis A and B markers were determined in 714 patients and in 291 members of the staff of a psychiatric institution for adults. The leading diagnosis were psychosis (71.8%), neurosis (17.7%), and oligophrenia (10.6%). Anti-HAV was found in 84.4% of the patients and in 69.2% of the staff. 26.8% of the patients and 19.9% of the staff had at least one HBV marker. The frequency of HBV markers correlated with the age of the patients but not with the duration of the hospitalization. After the exclusion of IgM-anti-HAV, IgM-anti-CMV and IgM-anti-EBV or possible toxic effects, 2.6% of all patients remained as presumable non-A, non-B hepatitis infections. In this study HBV markers were not found in an hyperendemic pattern reported previously in psychiatric institutions.
