Abstract
Hepatitis E Virus Seroprevalence among Men Who Have Sex with Men, United Kingdom
Highlights
We examined the effect of HIV infection on prevalence of IgG against hepatitis E virus (HEV) by comparing samples from HIV-infected Men who have sex with men (MSM) with those from HIV-negative MSM
We examined the effect of being MSM as a risk factor for HEV infection
To explore recent temporal trends in HEV seroprevalence among MSM, we examined serum samples from 977 MSM collected during the 3-year study period
Summary
5. Xu M, Wang S, Li L, Lei L, Liu Y, Shi W, et al Secondary infection with Streptococcus suis serotype 7 increases the virulence of highly pathogenic porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus in pigs. HIV-infected persons could be at increased risk for HEV acquisition [3]. Because of increasing prevalence of chronic liver disease induced by various causes among HIV-infected persons, it is necessary to determine whether these patients are at risk for HEV acquisition and possible hepatic decompensation [5].
