Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection uncommonly causes chronic hepatitis and neurologic disease. We describe a case of genotype 3a HEV meningoencephalitis diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing, illustrating the power of an unbiased molecular approach to microbial testing and the first reported case of HEV infection presumably acquired through lung transplantation.
戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)感染很少引起慢性肝炎和神经疾病。我们描述了一例通过宏基因组下一代测序诊断出的3a型HEV脑膜脑炎病例,展示了一种无偏倚的微生物检测分子方法的作用,以及首例据推测通过肺移植获得的HEV感染病例。
