Abstract:
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is among the most common causes of acute viral hepatitis. It typically causes acute infection, but some cases of chronic infection have also been recorded. These cases were particularly seen in developed countries, in patients who were immunocompromised, organ transplant recipients, or those with underlying hematological malignancy. However, we encountered a case of hepatitis E presenting as a chronic liver disease in an immunocompetent patient from a developing country. Therefore, more underlying risk factors need to be studied, which may lead to such a rare presentation of hepatitis E.
摘要:
戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)是急性病毒性肝炎的最常见原因之一。它通常会导致急性感染,但也有一些慢性感染病例。这些案例在发达国家尤为明显,在免疫功能低下的患者中,器官移植受者,或者那些有潜在恶性血液病的人.然而,我们遇到一例戊型肝炎,表现为慢性肝病的患者来自一个发展中国家。因此,需要研究更多潜在的风险因素,这可能导致如此罕见的戊型肝炎
