TLDR
HEV infection contributes to a small but important proportion of cases of acute liver injury that are suspected to be drug induced, andSerologic testing for HEV infection should be performed, particularly if clinical features are compatible with acute viral hepatitis.

Liver Failure due to Acute Viral Hepatitis (A-E).

TL;DR: Although numbers in Western European countries are decreasing rapidly, reliable diagnostic screening for hepatitis A-E is necessary to identify the etiology and to determine those most at risk of developing ALF.

Causality assessment of adverse reactions to drugs--I. A novel method based on the conclusions of international consensus meetings: application to drug-induced liver injuries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for drug causality assessment is described and applied to reports of acute liver injuries, using reports with positive rechallenge as external standard.

Hepatitis E virus and chronic hepatitis in organ-transplant recipients.

TL;DR: The time from transplantation to diagnosis was significantly shorter and the total counts of lymphocytes and of CD2, CD3, and CD4 T cells were significantly lower in patients in whom chronic disease developed.

A novel virus in swine is closely related to the human hepatitis E virus

TL;DR: The discovery of swine HEV not only has implications for HEV vaccine development, diagnosis, and biology, but also raises a potential public health concern for zoonosis or xenozoonosis following xenotransplantation with pig organs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis E virus.

TL;DR: Hepatitis E virus is an enterically transmitted virus that causes both epidemics and sporadic cases of acute hepatitis in many countries of Asia and Africa but only rarely causes disease in more industrialised countries.
