The Dallas County Health and Human Services Department is investigating a case of hepatitis A at a Dallas Mexican food restaurant.
The agency is working to alert medical care providers to be on the lookout for any customers who may have been infected. Dr. Chung said the risk that the infection has spread is very low.
“The vast majority who may contract hepatitis A will recover just fine without any serious problems,” Chung noted.
Hepatitis A is an infection that attacks the liver. Symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, and — in some cases — yellowing of the skin.
“It’s very important, in terms of preventing the spread of hepatitis A, to engage in extremely good hand-washing,” Chung said.
