Abstract
We describe a case of HEV genotype 3 infection mimicking acute cellular rejection, with a favorable outcome due to ribavirin treatment. As intensive immunosuppressive therapy administered for graft rejection may promote viral replication and worsen liver damage, potential HEV infection must be considered in cases of pathological signs of acute cellular rejection, in order to avoid chronic graft hepatitis, cirrhosis and liver decompensation.
