Silent hepatitis E virus infection in Dutch blood donors, 2011 to 2012

Abstract: In Europe, the dynamics of endemic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection remain enigmatic. We studied the presence of silent HEV infection among Dutch blood donors. Using donations collected throughout the

“…Depending on the distribution, parametric and nonparametric tests including Mann Witney test were used to test for differences within and between groups. The chi square test was used for the comparison between the results of the recent study and controls (adapted from Slot et al) [15]. A two sided P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.…”

“…Berücksichtigt man, dass unterschiedliche Antikörpernachweissys-teme eingesetzt wurden, so stimmen die HEV-Antikörperprävalenzen in der Allgemeinbevölkerung und in den Blutspendern weitgehend überein [173]. Hinweise darauf, dass die Bestimmung der HEVSeroprävalenz in Blutspenderkollektiven durch die eingesetzten Antikörpernach-weissysteme beeinflusst wird, ergaben sich aus verschiedenen Studien [174].…”

“…In einer umfangreichen Studie in den Niederlanden wurden die Prävalenz und Inzidenz von HEV in Blutspendern untersucht [174]. Etwa ein Viertel der Spender waren HEV-seropositiv, wobei jüngere Spender (< 30 Jahre) eine niedrigere Seroprävalenz aufwiesen und eine altersabhängige Zunahme an HEV-Antikör-per-positiven Spendern festgestellt wurde.…”
