A case of transfusion‐transmitted hepatitis E caused by blood from a donor infected with hepatitis E virus via zoonotic food‐borne route

Abstract

A transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E case by blood from a donor infected via the zoonotic food-borne route and the progress of HEV markers in the entire course are demonstrated. Further studies are needed to clarify the epidemiology and the transfusion-related risks for HEV even in industrialized countries.
