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.
