| Core Tip |
Transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging global health concern. In immunocompromised patients, chronic HEV infection increases the risk of liver cirrhosis. The prevalence of viremia and anti-HEV immunoglobulin G in asymptomatic blood donors varies widely between countries but even low concentrations of HEV in blood components are infectious, and in most countries blood donations are not routinely screened for HEV. Treatment of persistent infection includes modification of the immunosuppressant regimen followed by ribavirin. The need for screening of HEV in all blood donations remains controversial. Strategies to reduce de novo HEV infection should also be emphasized. |
