Hepatitis E seroprevalence in selected individuals in South Africa

1 Dec 1994

Abstract excerpt

Antibodies to the hepatitis E virus (HEV) were detected by an enzyme immunoassay using synthetic HEV peptides. Positive anti-HEV results were confirmed by a neutralization assay and Western blot analysis. Anti-HEV was detected in 10 of 555 canoeists (1.8%) with regular exposure to sewage-polluted water and in 6 of 227 (2.6%) medical students with minimal exposure. The overall prevalence of 16 per 782 individuals...
