Hepatitis E in post-liver transplantation: is it time to routinely consider it?
TL;DR: The most recent data on detecting and managing hepatitis E, both pre‐ and post‐liver transplantation, are reviewed, major detection assay limitations are discussed, future directions are considered, and an algorithm for the diagnosis and management of pre‐and post‐transplantation hepatitis E is proposed.
