Arsenic Exposure and Association with Hepatitis E IgG Antibodies

Abstract: Arsenic is a known toxic chemical, has immuno-modulatory properties, and can change the susceptibility of infection in humans. Acute hepatitis E is an infectious disease; it can be self-limiting, but in severe cases, can cause acute-on-chronic liver failure. The presence of IgG anti-HEV (hepatitis E IgG antibody) in blood represents a past hepatitis E infection in an individual. Very few studies have investigated the association between arsenic levels and hepatitis E seroconversion in humans. The primary objec… Show more

“…Arsenic is a naturally occurring trace element that is harmful to human and ecosystem health, especially when it is present in food or water supplies (Al-Jumaily, 2016; Rahman et al, 2020). In the soil environment, As is found in two distinct chemical species: (1) arsenic as a hydroxyl species (H 3 AsO 3 , 2 Journal of Geoscience and Environment Protection HAsO − ) (Strawn, 2018;Zafeiriou et al, 2019).…”
