Fen Huang, Yunlong Li, Wenhai Yu, Shenrong Jing, Jue Wang, Feiyan Long, Zhanlong He, Chenchen Yang, Yanhong Bi, Wentao Cao, Chengbo Liu, Xiuguo Hua, Qiuwei Pan – 10 June 2016 – Hepatitis E virus (HEV) represents the main cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. HEV infection in immunocompromised patients involves a high risk for the development of chronic hepatitis. Because HEV is recognized as a zoonotic pathogen, it is currently believed that swine is the primary reservoir.

Ke‐Qin Hu, Wei Cui – 6 June 2016 – The current standard in diagnosing hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection requires two sequential steps: anti‐HCV test to screen, followed by HCV RNA reverse‐transcription polymerase chain reaction to confirm viremic HCV (V‐HCV) infection. HCV core antigen tests provided potential for possible one‐step diagnosis. However, low sensitivity and specificity limit their clinical utility.
