摘要
Data on duration of viral excretion and viraemia during hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection are limited. We tested serial stool and serum samples from 20 patients with acute hepatitis E for HEV RNA. Faecal excretion and viraemia in these patients were found to be short lived. In 19 patients, all samples obtained after biochemical resolution of hepatitis tested negative; in the remaining patient, HEV RNA was detected in the serum samples but not in stool after biochemical resolution. Long-term persistence of HEV in body fluids of infected individuals seems to be an unlikely reservoir for transmission of HEV.
