“…This demonstrates that the use of additional tests is important to eliminate false positives. As observed elsewhere (Lyra et al 2005, Haagsman et al 2007, Martins et al 2014), the absence of HEV RNA can be explained by the short period of viraemia in cases of self-limited infection, which seems to be the profile of the study population.…”

“…Similarly, previous studies revealed higher rates of HEV infection in individuals with a low education level (Bortoliero et al 2006, Martins et al 2014). Additionally, other studies have reported that low educational level was statistically associated with HEV seropositivity (Junaid et al 2014, Yoon et al 2014) as well as living in rural area (Mansuy et al 2011, Houcine et al 2012).…”

“…Prevalence estimates among the general population, including blood donors, vary from 1% to 4% . Other studies have described the prevalence of HEV in specific high‐risk groups such as hemodialysis patients (6.2–15%), two to four recyclable waste pickers (5.1%), female‐sex workers (14.2%), women considered at risk for HIV (17.7%), patients with non‐A, non‐B, and non‐C hepatitis (2.1–29.0%), and persons who use intravenous drug (11.8%) . However, most of these studies are outdated, with small sample size and used anti‐HEV assays that have since been either discontinued or significantly improved with enhanced sensitivity and specificity.…”

“…Esta particularidade no perfil epidemiológico da hepatite E em regiões não endêmicas, causadas por infecções pelo genótipo 3 do vírus, pode ter relação com as baixas prevalências sorológicos e moleculares observadas em diversas populações no Brasil (DE PAULA et al, 2001;TRINTA et al, 2001;ASSIS et al, 2012;DOS SANTOS et al, 2010;ECHEVARRIA et al, 2013;PASSOS et al, 2013;PASSOS-CASTILHO et al, 2014;MARTINS et al, 2014;VITRAL et al, 2014), porém, devido ao fato do HEV já ter sido descrito em suínos em diversas regiões geográficas do Brasil, algumas populações como veterinários, criadores e/consumidores de suínos podem estar expostos a um maior risco de infecção, reforçando a necessidade de pesquisas relacionadas ao diagnóstico laboratorial do HEV em humanos e animais no país (PAIVA et al, 2007, DOS SANTOS et al, 2009DE SOUZA et al, 2012;GARDINALI et al, 2012;LANA et al, 2014;VASCONCELOS et al, 2015;HELDT et al, 2016).…”
