Data on hepatitis E virus (HEV) in Brazil are limited. We analyzed 15 years of HEV surveillance data in a major clinical laboratory in São Paulo, Brazil.
The seroprevalence of HEV of 2,271 patients subjected to anti-HEV tests from 1998 to 2013 were analyzed.
HEV seroprevalence was 2.1%, and the anti-HEV IgM positivity rate was 4.9%. Six hepatitis E patients were identified.
HEV seroprevalence and detection rates appear to have increased in recent years. Hepatitis E should be investigated further and included in the differential diagnosis of hepatitis in Brazil.
巴西戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)的数据有限。我们分析了巴西圣保罗一家主要临床实验室15年的戊型肝炎病毒监测数据。
分析了1998年至2013年接受抗HEV检测的2271例患者的戊型肝炎病毒血清流行率。
戊型肝炎病毒血清流行率为2.1%,抗HEV IgM阳性率为4.9%。确诊了6例戊型肝炎患者。
近年来,戊型肝炎病毒血清流行率和检出率似乎有所上升。在巴西,戊型肝炎应进一步调查,并纳入肝炎的鉴别诊断。
