Hepatitis A exposure risk identified in Macomb County

The Macomb County Health Department has confirmed a case of hepatitis A in a foodservice
worker at Buffalo Wild Wings located at 29287 Mound Road in Warren.

The restaurant was inspected on April 17, 2018. Management worked with the Health Department
throughout the investigation and has been approved to operate.

The Health Department advises anyone who ate at the restaurant from March 24, 2018 through
April 9, 2018 to watch for symptoms of hepatitis A, which include abdominal pain, nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea, dark urine, fever, chills and yellow skin and eyes (jaundice). Symptoms
develop anywhere between 15 and 50 days after exposure. Persons who develop these
symptoms should seek medical care.

The Health Department also recommends a hepatitis A vaccine for previously unvaccinated
persons who consumed food at the restaurant between March 24 and April 9, 2018. Vaccination
can prevent hepatitis A if given within 14 days after potential exposure. The hepatitis A vaccine is
available at the Macomb County Health Department and is also available through some
healthcare providers and pharmacies. Please see vaccination clinic schedule below.

Michigan is experiencing a serious hepatitis A outbreak. More than 800 cases have been reported
statewide since August of 2016. For more information about hepatitis A,
