Enterically transmitted hepatitis in Saudi Arabia: an epidemiological study
TL;DR: Investigation among the populations of two areas of Saudi Arabia found that rates of exposure to HEV in Gizan were almost twice those in Riyadh, emphasizing the importance of sanitation as an effective measure in controlling the spread ofHEV in developing countries.

The clinical course of acute hepatitis in the elderly patient.
TL;DR: The majority of patients with posttransfusion non-B hepatitis either recovered spontaneously or entered into a chronic phase characterized by mildly or intermittently abnormal liver function test results without clinical deterioration of their condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indian hepatitis E virus shows a major deletion in the small open reading frame.
TL;DR: The protein encoded by ORF3 does not appear to be useful for early serodiagnosis as a synthetic peptide deduced from the truncated OrF3 failed to show any demonstrable immunoreactivity against HEV-infected acute phase sera in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Transfusion-associated hepatitis not due to viral hepatitis type A or B.
TL;DR: In this paper, 22 patients who had an episode of transfusion-associated hepatitis not positive for hepatitis B antigen were examined for development of antibody to heaptitis A and B antigens, cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus.

Hemagglutination Assay for Antigen and Antibody Associated with Viral Hepatitis
Girish N. Vyas,N. R. Shulman +1 more
TL;DR: The hemagglutination test has the sensitivity and rapidity of the best tests available, is simpler to perform, and lends itself to large-scale screening of blood donors.

TL;DR: Hepatitis was transmitted by serum derived from patients with chronic as well as acute hepatitis, strongly suggesting a chronic carrier state for the agent responsible for non-A, non-B hepatitis.
