An infected food handler is a recognised source of outbreaks of

  • A.hepatitis D
  • B.hepatitis A
  • C.hepatitis B
  • D.hepatitis C

Answer: B

Correct answer: hepatitis A

An infected food handler sheds virus in the stool for a week or two before becoming jaundiced, and by then may have prepared food for hundreds of people. Since hepatitis A is enterically transmitted and survives well on surfaces, this is a classic outbreak scenario. The blood-borne viruses are not spread this way.
