The occurrence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in patients with Schistosomiasis mansoni (SM) is still poorly understood in Brazil. The objective of this study was to estimate the seroprevalence of anti-HEV IgG in patients with SM and its association with the periportal fibrosis (PPF), assessed by serum markers and ultrasound criteria. This cross-sectional study was carried out in an endemic area in Pernambuco, Brazil, with schistosomal patients who underwent coproscopic survey.

Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) causes acute jaundice and poses an important public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. Limited surveillance capacity and suboptimal access to diagnostics leads to under-reporting of HEV infections in affected countries, including Nepal. Serum antibodies against HEV are indicative of past infection.

Background: Recently, there has been increasing interest in the exploration of the association between the hepatitis E virus () infection and malignancies; however, epidemiological data for infection among women with a gynecological tumors (GT) are limited. Herein, we investigated the correlation between and GT in Chinese women.
Methods: We recruited 452 women diagnosed with a primary GT and 452 healthy volunteers to investigate the possible routes and risk factors for infection.
Seroprevalence patterns of viral hepatitis B, C, and E among internally displaced persons in Borno State, Nigeria.

Department 1: Infectious Diseases, Robert Koch Institute, Berlin, Germany.
Objectives: Following the outbreak of hepatitis E in camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Borno State in 2017, we assessed hepatitis B, C, and E biomarkers (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg], anti-HBC, anti-hepatitis E virus [HEV] immunoglobulin [Ig] G, and anti-HEV IgM) among IDPs in three camps in Borno State, Nigeria, to determine seroprevalence rates in these understudied populations.
Methods: A total of 454 IDPs, including pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers, were randomly selected, and their demographic, clinical, and epidemiological data were collected. Blood samples were tested for HBsAg and anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) using rapid tests, anti-HEV IgM, and anti-HEV IgG using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Article Synopsis
- - A study was conducted in Piauí State, Brazil, to assess the prevalence of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) among blood donors, involving 890 participants with a median age of 33.4 years, mostly males from the Mid-Northern region.
- - Blood samples were tested for anti-HEV IgG and IgM antibodies using advanced techniques, alongside PCR testing for HEV RNA.
- - The findings showed low prevalence rates for anti-HEV IgG (1.35%) and IgM (0.11%), with no HEV-RNA detected, indicating minimal HEV infection among blood donors in the area.
