La aceptación de estas últimas por la población fue clave para la prevención y control de la epidemia, y esta se vio influenciada por diferentes factores, que han sido englobados por la Organización Mundial de la Salud bajo el término de reticencia a la vacunación.

At the same time, it was proved that recanalization with incomplete recovery of bile outflow was possible due to the normalization of the total bilirubin (TB) level. Morphological changes in the liver were most pronounced during acute cholangitis. The study examined what processes occur in the body during the recovery of bile flow, including after the complete blockage of such organs as the liver and bile ducts.
