Hepatitis E

Hepatitis E is inflammation of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis E virus (HEV);[1][2] it is a type of viral hepatitis.[3]

Hepatitis E has mainly a fecal-oral transmission that is similar to hepatitis A, but the viruses are unrelated.[4][5][6]

The earliest known epidemic of hepatitis E happened in 1955 in New Delhi,[7] but the virus was not discovered until 1983, by Russian scientists investigating an outbreak in Afghanistan.[8]

One of five known human hepatitis viruses: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E.
