--- title: Club Members Warned Of Hepatitis date: 2004-10-06T14:31:38-07:00 author: Bill Marler canonical_url: "https://marlerclark.com/news_events/club-members-warned-of-hepatitis" section: News --- [All News](/news_events) / # Club Members Warned Of Hepatitis Customers Should Look For Symptoms, Officials Say The Boston Channel POSTED: 7:12 am EDT October 6, 2004 BOSTON — Boston health officials said a worker at an Italian-American club in the South Boston neighborhood has been diagnosed with hepatitis. The officials said customers who ate at the club on East Third Street between Sept. 8 and Sept. 18 should look for symptoms of Hepatitis A and seek health care promptly if they feel them. The officials also said customers should exercise strict hygiene, including hand washing with soap and hot water, in order not to pass the disease further. Normally, people who are in contact with a person diagnosed with Hepatitis A are advised to take immune globulin injections, which can keep the liver disease from developing. But immune globulin must be given within 14 days of exposure — and since more than 14 days have already passed, health officials say there’s no sense in giving the injections. ### Other Hepatitis A
