Chronic Hepatitis E Virus Manifesting as Elevated Transaminases in a Heart Transplant Patient
© 2024 The Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. on behalf of The American College of Gastroenterology..
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a common cause of viral hepatitis worldwide. Genotypes 1 and 2 cause acute hepatitis in endemic regions (Asia and Africa), whereas genotypes 3 and 4 (America and Europe) result in sporadic acute or chronic hepatitis, specifically in certain groups. HEV infections are rising because of increased transplantation rates and immunosuppression. We report a 75-year-old heart transplant patient with nonspecific symptoms, diagnosed with HEV chronic hepatitis. Despite ribavirin-induced hemolytic anemia, the patient achieved sustained virological response and normalization of liver enzymes.
