Description
Summary:This cross-sectional study was performed with the aim of determining the prevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection among acute hepatitis patients attending a tertiary care teaching hospital in a developing country and to determine the relative performance of prevalent diagnostic assays in establishing its diagnosis. A total of 46 adult patients were included in this study, all of whom presented with jaundice of
