KOCHI: Multiple outbreaks have resulted in a five-fold rise in Hepatitis A cases in Kerala this year compared to 2023, a revelation that has set alarm bells ringing.

As many as 6123 confirmed Hepatitis A cases and 61 deaths have been reported until October 29 this year. In comparison, there were 1,073 and seven deaths in the 12 months of 2023.

The multiple Hepatitis A outbreaks in Kozhikode, Malappuram, and Ernakulam earlier this year contributed to the rising numbers.
