During 2023, 523 new cases of hepatitis A, B, C and E were recorded in Italy. Added to these are 1 case of Delta hepatitis and almost 60 for which the family of the virus has not been determined.
Most frequent probable sources of infection were exposure to beauty treatments such as manicures, piercings and tattoos, dental care, and risky sexual behavior. Health interventions are only further behind, according to the Seieva Hepatitis Surveillance System of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità.
