Virology and Immunology of Hepatitis Viruses
Summary
- HEV is increasingly appreciated as a disease with a vast array of clinical manifestations from asymptomatic infection to fulminant hepatitis
- Although generally considered a self-limited disease, some reports have described chronic HEV infection in immunosuppressed populations such as transplantation recipients, HIV infection, and cancer[Kamar 2008; Dalton 2009; Ollier 2009]
- Exposure to HEV may be more prevalent in the US than previously considered, with 6% testing positive for anti-HEV in 2009-2010[Teshale 2015] Replication and Immunopathogenesis
