(B) Treat with hepatitis A immune globulin.
(C) Obtain hepatitis A serology and give hepatitis A vaccine.
(D) Give hepatitis A vaccine.
(E) No treatment is needed.

(A)

 Children, especially those in daycare, commonly are infected with the hepatitis A virus. Unlike adults, children most often are asymptomatic. Frequently, outbreaks of hepatitis A in a daycare center are not recognized until a daycare worker or parent of an attendee becomes ill. Immunization against hepatitis A
virus is now routinely recommended because of this. After exposure both immune globulin
and vaccine should be given to the unvaccinated individual.
