We encountered a 14-year-old Bangladeshi boy who developed acute hepatitis E in Japan. He showed improvement without the development of fulminant hepatitis. His hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype was I, which causes epidemics mainly in South Asia. He developed this disease more than 6 months after coming to Japan. Considering the latent period, it was suspected that he had been infected with HEV in Japan, although the HEV virus is presumed not to be indigenous to Japan.
我们遇到一名14岁的孟加拉国男孩，他在日本患上了急性戊型肝炎。他的病情有所改善，未发展为暴发性肝炎。他的戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）基因型为I型，该型主要在南亚引发疫情。他在抵达日本6个多月后患上了这种疾病。考虑到潜伏期，尽管戊型肝炎病毒据推测并非日本本土病毒，但怀疑他是在日本感染了戊型肝炎病毒。
