| Core Tip |
The role of chronic HEV superinfection in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression in cirrhotic livers with negative HBV infection has not been studied. We present herein a unique chronic HEV case with liver cirrhosis who experienced repeated HEV re-infection and rapid HCC development and relapse. This case highlights the importance to investigate the association between HEV re-infection and rapid development of HCC and progression in liver cirrhosis cases, even with absence of HBV infection. Moreover, routinely detecting HEV infection in high risk occupational group and all blood donors is warranted. Additionally, the treatment for symptomatic and asymptomatic chronic HEV infection is highly suggested. |
