Three people infected with the hepatitis A virus have been rushed to Kaposv*r hospital, bringing the overall number treated against the disease to 16. All those affected live in Istv*ndi, Somogy county, where the epidemic broke out two weeks ago.
Tests show that a failure to observe hygiene may have caused the infection, which was contracted by residents of houses without electricity or running water.
