## Abstract In earlier studies, hepatitis E virus (HEV) particles were detected in the stools of patients with enterically transmitted nonβA, nonβB (ENANB) hepatitis, and HEV was etiologically associated with this disease. Such particles have not been observed in the liver, however. We describe the
It was suggested that hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 4 is associated more closely with the severity of hepatitis E than genotype 3, although the virological basis remains unknown. The aim of this study was to examine whether genomic differences among genotype 4 HEVs are responsible for the develop
## Abstract NonβA, nonβB hepatitis viruses have been implicated as the etiological agent(s) in up to 60% of patients with fulminant hepatitis. These agents are reported to induce a higher mortality than other causes of fulminant hepatitis. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) at pres
## Abstract A newly developed assay for IgA class antibody to hepatitis E virus (IgA antiβHEV) was used to study 145 serum samples collected during an outbreak of an enterically transmitted hepatitis that occurred in 3 villages in the lower Shebeli region of Southern Somalia between January, 1988 a
