Description:

In the United States, the seroprevalence rate for hepatitis E virus (HEV) is approximately 20%. This study examined HEV seroprevalence in persons with and without chronic liver disease. Our data indicate that HEV seropositivity is high in patients with chronic liver disease and that HEV seroprevalence increases significantly with age.
