Core Tip	In recent years, there has been a notable shift in the prevalence of viruses causing acute hepatitis. The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is increasingly affecting adults, contrary to its previous predominance among children, while the incidence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) among adults appears to remain unchanged. This change highlights a significant epidemiological transition. Although cases of HEV infection are associated with higher mortality rates, acute liver failure, and coagulopathy compared to those of HAV, signaling distinct impacts between the two viruses in adult populations.
