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 · INTRODUCTION. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is one of the most common causes, yet least diagnosed etiologies, of acute viral hepatitis [1]. 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.
18 cze 2024 · Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is typically a self-limiting, acute illness that spreads through the gastrointestinal tract but replicates in the liver. However, chronic infections are possible in immunocompromised individuals.
Among US-born individuals, HEV seropositivity (IgG/IgM) increased from 4.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.5%-5.5%) in 2013-2014 to 8.1% (95%CI = 6.5%-9.7%) in 2015-2016. Recent HEV infection (IgM) has nearly doubled in all US-born people.
16 lis 2017 · Infection with the virus causes hepatitis E, which usually presents as an acute, self-limiting form of liver inflammation. However, acute hepatitis can progress to chronic hepatitis,...
1 lip 2009 · Exposure to HEV is common in the US population, although hepatitis E is rarely reported. Having pets and consuming organ meats may play a role in HEV transmission in the United States, but other mechanisms of transmission may also exist.
