Description: The seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) is changing from high to intermediate endemicity in several Latin American countries, but the pattern in the Andean Latin American countries is unknown. A seroepidemiological survey (n = 436) of HAV in schoolchildren living in the Cochabamba region of Bolivia was conducted in 2010. A questionnaire was completed by parents to obtain demographic, socio‐economic, and housing data, and blood samples were collected. The overall prevalence of HAV IgG was 95.4% (95% CI 93.5–97.4). The prevalence was higher in children aged 5–10 years (97%) and pre‐adolescents aged 10–13 years (97.9%). The prevalence was also higher in subjects whose parents had a low level of education (99.4–99.5%), who lived in rural areas (98.7%), lived in municipalities with low urban development (99.1–100%), had water delivered at home from a tanker (99.4%), and spoke Quechua at home (99.5%). The descriptive and bivariate analysis suggested that no change in HAV epidemiology has occurred in Cochabamba. J Med. Virol. 85:1692–1697, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
