摘　　要：Hepatitis E virus(HEV)infection is now endemic worldwide.Most patients with acute infection recover uneventfully.Outbreaks and sporadic cases,particularly in high-risk individuals are emerging increasingly.The patients with risk factors like pregnancy and pre-existing chronic liver disease,present with or progress rapidly to severe disease.Immuno-suppression in post-transplant patients is an additional risk factor.Standardized FDA-approved diagnostic tests are the need of the hour.Further studies are needed to establish guideline-based treatment regimen and outbreak preparedness for HEV to decrease global morbidity,mortality,and healthcare burden.Policies for screening donors and transplant cases are requi-red.
