Article Synopsis
- Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a globally present infection affecting both children and adults, and its diagnosis can be challenging due to the limitations of current testing methods.
- Advances in nucleic acid testing have improved detection rates, revealing that HEV can manifest differently depending on the population and location.
- While HEV is typically self-limiting in healthy individuals, it can cause severe issues, such as acute liver failure in pregnant women or chronic conditions in immunocompromised patients, leading to tailored treatment strategies.
