UNLABELLED
The seroepidemiology of hepatitis E virus (HEV) in South Africa is limited. We investigated anti-HEV IgM and IgG, in residual hepatitis A, B, and C negative serology specimens, at our public sector Free State (FS) laboratory. Of 299 specimens (01 May-31 October 2020), 182/299 (60.9%) had anti-HEV IgG and 1/299 (0.33%) had anti-HEV IgM. High HEV seroprevalence across different age groups suggests a different epidemiology in the FS, necessitating further research.
CONTRIBUTION
The need for HEV research in South Africa is highlighted. Clinicians should consider HEV in their differential diagnosis of patients with hepatitis.
未标记
南非戊型肝炎病毒（HEV）的血清流行病学研究有限。我们在公共部门自由邦（FS）实验室对甲型、乙型和丙型肝炎血清学检测呈阴性的残留标本中的抗HEV IgM和IgG进行了调查。在299份标本（2020年5月1日至10月31日）中，182/299（60.9%）有抗HEV IgG，1/299（0.33%）有抗HEV IgM。不同年龄组的HEV血清阳性率较高，表明FS地区的流行病学情况不同，有必要进一步研究。
贡献
强调了南非开展HEV研究的必要性。临床医生在对肝炎患者进行鉴别诊断时应考虑HEV。
