5 sie 2022 · In the United States (U.S.), a hepatitis E virus (HEV) seroprevalence between 6 and 21% has been described, with a decreasing trend. We aimed to investigate HEV infection in the U.S. population from 2009 to 2016, and examine the differences in seroprevalence using different assays.
9 sie 2023 · Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the most common causes, yet least diagnosed etiologies, of acute viral hepatitis . HEV infection has a global distribution, with distinct differences in transmission and disease outcomes in resource-rich versus resource-limited areas.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV), of the family Herpesviridae, is a virus that infects nearly 20 million people per year throughout the world. HEV is most commonly transmitted via the fecal-oral route and has long been described as a virus that afflicts only those in resource-poor countries.
23 sie 2024 · Treatment. The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide. HEV is classified into eight genotypes, labeled HEV-1 through HEV-8. Genotypes 1 and 2 exclusively infect humans, while genotypes 3, 4, and 7 can infect both humans and animals.
16 lis 2017 · Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can lead to acute and chronic hepatitis as well as to extrahepatic manifestations such as neurological and renal disease; it is the most common cause of acute...
Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Evaluation Survey (NHANES) 1988-1994 dataset found a relatively high seroprevalence (21%) of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in the U.S. general population.
2 mar 2020 · It is endemic, meaning HEV has a constant but not unusually high presence, in much of the Middle East, parts of southeast Asia, and regions of South America. Hepatitis E is sporadic in developed or industrialized countries and typically goes unrecognized with a low disease burden.
