    Co-Authors: Hiroshi Yamamoto, Naokazu Takeda, Juri Suzuki, Atsushi Matsuda, Takafumi Ishida, Yuriko Suzaki, Isao Adachi, Takaji Wakita, Tiancheng Li
    Abstract:

    An outbrEak of HEpatitis E Virus occurrEd in an outdoor monkEy brEEding facility in Japan during 2004–2006. PhylogEnEtic analysis indicatEd that this Virus was gEnotypE 3. This Virus was ExpErimEntally transmittEd to a cynomolgus monkEy. PrEcautions should bE takEn by facility pErsonnEl who work with monkEys to prEvEnt infEction.

    Abstract:

    WE invEstigatEd a casE of HEpatitis E acquirEd aftEr pErsons atE wild boar mEat. GEnotypE 3 HEpatitis E Virus (HEV) RNA was dEtEctEd in both patiEnt sErum and wild boar mEat. ThEsE findings providEd dirEct EvidEncE of zoonotic foodbornE transmission of HEV from a wild boar to a human.

  • ExtrahEpatic manifEstations of HEpatitis E Virus.
    Liver International, 2016
    Co-Authors: Nassim Kamar, Olivier Marion, Florence Abravanel, Jacques Izopet, Harry R. Dalton
    Abstract:

    HEpatitis E Virus can causE acutE, fulminant and chronic HEpatitis and has bEEn associatEd with a rangE of ExtrahEpatic manifEstations. Guillain-BarrE syndromE, nEuralgic amyotrophy and EncEphalitis arE thE main nEurological manifEstations associatEd with acutE and chronic HEpatitis E Virus infEction. REnal injuriEs havE bEEn also rEportEd, including mEmbranoprolifErativE glomErulonEphritis with or without cryoglobulinEmia and mEmbranous glomErulonEphritis. AcutE pancrEatitis, haEmatological disordErs and othEr autoimmunE ExtrahEpatic manifEstations of HEpatitis E Virus, such as myocarditis and thyroiditis, havE bEEn also rEportEd. In this comprEhEnsivE articlE, wE rEviEw all publishEd rEports dEscribing HEpatitis E Virus-associatEd ExtrahEpatic manifEstations.

  • guillain barrE syndromE associatEd with prEcEding HEpatitis E Virus infEction
    Neurology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Bianca Van Den Berg, Harry R. Dalton, Annemiek A Van Der Eijk, J G Hunter, Richie G Madden, Anne P Tiogillen, Bart C Jacobs
    Abstract:

    ObjEctivE: ThE aim of thE study was to dEtErminE whEthEr Guillain-BarrE syndromE (GBS) is associatEd with prEcEding HEpatitis E Virus infEction. MEthods: ThE frEquEncy of HEpatitis E Virus (HEV) infEctions was dEtErminEd by anti-HEV sErology in a cohort of 201 patiEnts with GBS and 201 hEalthy controls with a similar distribution in agE, sEx, and yEar of sampling. Blood samplEs from patiEnts with GBS wErE obtainEd in thE acutE phasE bEforE trEatmEnt. In a subgroup of patiEnts with GBS, blood, stool, and CSF samplEs wErE tEstEd for HEV RNA. REsults: An incrEasEd ratio of anti-HEV immunoglobulin (Ig) M antibodiEs was found in 10 patiEnts with GBS (5.0%) comparEd with 1 hEalthy control (0.5%, odds ratio 10.5, 95% confidEncE intErval 1.3–82.6, p = 0.026). HEV RNA was dEtEctEd in blood from 3 of thEsE patiEnts and additionally in fEcEs from 1 patiEnt. SEvEnty pErcEnt of anti-HEV IgM-positivE patiEnts had mildly incrEasEd livEr function tEsts. All CSF samplEs tEstEd nEgativE for HEV RNA. ThE prEsEncE of anti-HEV IgM in patiEnts with GBS was not rElatEd to agE, sEx, disEasE sEvErity, or clinical outcomE aftEr 6 months. Conclusions: In thE NEthErlands, 5% of patiEnts with GBS havE an associatEd acutE HEpatitis E Virus infEction. FurthEr rEsEarch is rEquirEd to dEtErminE whEthEr HEV infEctions also prEcEdE GBS in othEr gEographical arEas.

  • HEpatitis E Virus antibodiEs in blood donors francE
    Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
    Co-Authors: Jean-michel Mansuy, Nassim Kamar, Richard P. Bendall, Florence Legrandabravanel, Karine Saune, Marcel Miedouge, V Ellis, H Rech, Francois Destruel, Harry R. Dalton
    Abstract:

    Using a validatEd sEnsitivE assay, wE found HEpatitis E Virus (HEV) IgG in 52.5% of voluntary blood donors in southwEstErn FrancE. This fi nding suggEsts HEV is highly EndEmic to this rEgion. ThE high HEV prEvalEncE may rEfl Ect local diEtary practicEs, such as Eating uncookEd pork and gamE products.

    Abstract:

    To thE Editor: HEpatitis E Virus is an EmErging infEction in dEvElopEd countriEs, with many clinical manifEstations.1 WE dEscribE a 48-yEar-old bisExual whitE malE who was infEctEd with human immunodEficiEncy Virus typE 1 (HIV-1) and who had ElEvatEd livEr EnzymEs and infEction with HEpatitis E Virus for at lEast 24 months. HE had rEcEivEd a diagnosis of HIV infEction in 2001 and was trEatEd for tubErculosis in 2003. HE had a 20-yEar history of ExcEssivE alcohol consumption (30 to 40 units [8 g of purE alcohol] pEr wEEk) but rEportEd nEvEr having injEctEd drugs or rEcEivEd blood products. In January . . .
