Hepatitis E: An update on One Health and clinical medicine
Liver international (Print), 2021 The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the main causes of acute hepatitis and the de facto global burden is underestimated. HEV‐related clinical complications are often undetected and are not considered in the differential diagnosis.
