Transmission of hepatitis A from food handlers to patrons is rare.
But the health district cautions that customers of a 7-Eleven convenience store on South Maryland Parkway who purchased non-prepackaged foods such as hot dogs or hot deli items from July 26 to Aug. 6 may have been exposed to the virus.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that the case is linked to the ongoing hepatitis A outbreak in Clark County.
