Abstract INTRODUCTION Solid-organ transplant recipients are at risk of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. We analyzed the seroprevalence/risk factors of HEV in Croatian liver transplant recipients. METHODS Two hundred forty-two serum samples were tested for HEV immunoglobuline IgG/IgM and HEV RNA. So...

Abstract INTRODUCTION We evaluated the anti-hepatitis E virus (HEV) antibody prevalence and HEV-RNA in archived serum samples of non-A-C hepatitis, or suspected cases of HEV infection from the Eastern Brazilian Amazon from 1993 to 2014. METHODS Serum samples (n = 318) were tested using ELISA and immu...

Resumen En Chile, existen escasos estudios de seroprevalencia de anticuerpos IgG anti virus hepatitis E (VHE) en bancos de sangre, entre 4 y 8%. El desarrollo de nuevas técnicas con mayor sensibilidad y especificidad, dan cuenta de un aumento de la seroprevalencia de VHE en diversos países, siendo desc...

ABSTRACT Background and aims: Hepatitis E virus infection in patients with underlying chronic liver disease is associated with liver decompensation and increased lethality. The seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus in patients with chronic hepatitis C in Brazil is unknown. This study aims to estimate the ...
Se presenta el caso clínico de una gestante de 20 años de edad, nulípara, con antecedente de asma intermitente, asintomática, quien ingresó con un síndrome ictérico en el Hospital Ginecoobstétrico Mariana Grajales Coello de Santiago de Cuba. Luego de realizarle los estudios pertinentes se concluy...
Histopathological evaluation of liver from 33 pigs slaughtered for human consumption in Amazon region, previously tested by serology and molecular techniques for hepatitis E virus infection (HEV), was analysed in three groups: Group 1, negative for both HEV-RNA and anti-HEV IgG (n=10); Group 2, positive ...
ABSTRACT The symposium "Epidemiology of Hepatitis E virus (HEV) Infection and Associated Immune Response" was held at the Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico, on 14 June 2017, to define the status of research on HEV infection in three countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)—Cuba, Mexico, ...
Abstract Brazil is a non-endemic country for hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection with seroprevalence from 1% to 4% in blood donors and the general population. However, data on seroprevalence of HEV in the country are still limited. This study evaluated the prevalence of past or present HEV infection in a g...
