Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis E virus antibodies in blood donors, France.
Jean-Michel Mansuy,Richard P. Bendall,Florence Legrand-Abravanel,Karine Sauné,Marcel Miedougé,Vic Ellis,Henri Rech,François Destruel,Nassim Kamar,Harry R. Dalton,Jacques Izopet +10 more
TL;DR: Using a validated sensitive assay, it is found hepatitis E virus (HEV) IgG in 52.5% of voluntary blood donors in southwestern France, which suggests HEV is highly endemic to this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis E virus and the kidney in solid-organ transplant patients.
Nassim Kamar,Hugo Weclawiak,Céline Guilbeau-Frugier,Florence Legrand-Abravanel,Olivier Cointault,David Ribes,Laure Esposito,Isabelle Cardeau-Desangles,Joelle Guitard,Federico Sallusto,Fabrice Muscari,Jean-Marie Péron,Laurent Alric,Jacques Izopet,Lionel Rostaing +14 more
TL;DR: HEV-associated glomerulonephritis seems to be an HEV-related extrahepatic manifestation in solid-organ transplant patients during HEV infection that improved and proteinuria decreased after HEV clearance.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of anti-hepatitis E virus antibodies in blood donors from South West France.
Jean Michel Mansuy,Florence Legrand-Abravanel,Jean Pierre Calot,Jean-Marie Péron,Laurent Alric,Sylvie Agudo,Henri Rech,François Destruel,Jacques Izopet +8 more
TL;DR: The frequency of anti‐HEV antibodies in blood donors could reflect active autochthonous transmission in this area of France, and further studies are needed to clarify the epidemiology of HEV infection in the Midi‐Pyrénées region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics of Autochthonous Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients in France
Florence Legrand-Abravanel,Nassim Kamar,Karine Sandres-Sauné,Cyril Garrouste,Martine Dubois,Jean-Michel Mansuy,Fabrice Muscari,Federico Sallusto,Lionel Rostaing,Jacques Izopet +9 more
TL;DR: Investigating 38 consecutive cases of HEV genotype 3 infection found that the only factor independently associated with HEV infection was the consumption of game meat, and immunocompromised patients should avoid eating insufficiently cooked game meat or pork products to reduce the risk ofHEV infection and chronic liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hepatitis E virus genotype 3 diversity, France.
Florence Legrand-Abravanel,Jean-Michel Mansuy,Martine Dubois,Nassim Kamar,Jean-Marie Péron,Lionel Rostaing,Jacques Izopet +6 more
TL;DR: These strains are closely related to swine strains in Europe, which suggests zoonotic transmission of HEV in France, and the full-length HEV genotype 3f genome found in Europe is sequenced.
