Acute Hepatitis E Infection Accounts for Some Cases of Suspected Drug-Induced Liver Injury

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.

Hepatitis E: A Literature Review.

TL;DR: A literature review of hepatitis E and the relation between chronic liver disease and transplantation is presented, especially in patients who underwent transplantation, have hematological malignancies requiring chemotherapy, or have infection with the human immunodeficiency virus.

TL;DR: Collaborative efforts to retrieve detailed phenotypic data and biological samples of patients with HILI would facilitate genomic and other molecular approaches for a better understanding of host risk factors and, hopefully, for biomarker identification.

Pathobiology of hepatitis E: lessons learned from primate models.

TL;DR: The biological parameters of hepatitis E have been studied in nonhuman primates, which are surrogates of man and chimpanzees, and the biological characteristics of the different HEV genotypes mirrored their epidemiological characteristics.

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.

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.
