Abstract
HEV is the cause of acute self-limited hepatitis, although 36.73% of the studied cases had to be hospitalised. However a small number of patients, 10.2%, had fulminant hepatitis requiring liver transplant. Chronic hepatitis E is very infrequent in immunocompetent individuals. The increase in incidence of hepatitis E is due to the introduction of better diagnostic tests in recent years.
