Hepatitis E virus infection in Hong Kong blood donors

10 Nov 2019

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In Hong Kong, the dominant circulating hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype is type 4, which can cause more severe clinical consequences than type 3. The aim of this study was to determine the HEV prevalence in Hong Kong blood donors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Unlinked donation samples (n = 10 000) collected in March to May 2015 were tested for HEV RNA using the Procleix HEV assay in an...
