Hepatitis E virus in Indonesia
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1994Abstract : Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been identified as a major cause of enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis (ET-NANBH) (BRADLEY, 1992). The geographical distribution of HEV transmission in south-east Asia is unknown, although transmission has been reported in Hong Kong (LOK et al., 1992), and HEV complementary deoxyribonucleic acid has ...

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a small non-enveloped virus, which is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. The strains which infect humans predominantly belong to genotypes 1–4. HEV strains cause a large number of infections each year. The clinical symptoms of HEV infection are similar to those of hepatitis A, although genotypes 1 and 4 can cause mortality

Treatment of hepatitis E virus
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2016Purpose of review Over the last 10 years, it has become apparent that hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a pathogen of global significance. In contrast to HEV in the developing world, HEV in developed countries is caused by HEV genotypes 3 and 4, which are enzoonotic with a porcine primary host and cause both acute and chronic ...

An Update on the Hepatitis E Virus
Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2013There have been recent key advances in the understanding of hepatitis E virus infection. Since the early 1980s, when the virus was first discovered, hepatitis E has been described as a disease that is endemic only in the African and Asian subcontinents, a disease that is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, and a disease that causes an acute illness ...

Transmission of Hepatitis E Virus
2016Transmission of hepatitis E virus (HEV) occurs predominantly by the fecal-oral route. Large epidemics of hepatitis E in the developing countries of Asia and Africa are waterborne and spread through contaminated drinking water. The reservoir of HEV in developed countries is believed to be in animals with zoonotic transmission to humans, possibly through

Xenotransplantation and Hepatitis E virus
Xenotransplantation, 2015AbstractXenotransplantation using pig cells, tissues and organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms to the human recipient. Some of these microorganisms may induce a zoonosis, that is an infectious disease induced by microorganisms transmitted from another species.

Hepatitis E presents with the typical clinical and morphologic features of acute hepatitis. Discovered in 1990, hepatitis E virus (HEV) is now recognised as the agent responsible for nearly all enterically transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis. Hepatitis E is principally the result of water borne infection and while large-scale outbreaks have been ...

Hepatitis E: the forgotten virus
Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, 2013Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has a long military association being first discovered during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s after an outbreak of unexplained hepatitis at a military camp. HEV is now endemic in the UK, and should be considered in all cases of jaundice. The prevalence is high in certain operational areas (28.5% in Afghanistan),

Enteric Hepatitis Viruses: Hepatitis A Virus and Hepatitis E Virus
2018Hepatitis A is an infectious disease of the liver caused by hepatitis A virus. Hepatitis A has a global distribution with endemicity inversely proportional to higher socioeconomic conditions and standards of sanitation and hygiene. Hepatitis A virus infection is predominantly spread directly from one person to another through orofecal transmission and ...
