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.
