肠道传播的非甲非乙型肝炎(戊型肝炎,HE)临床上和甲型肝炎相似,其潜伏期为3～9周。尽管戊型肝炎最初发生在印度,但现已成为一种全球性疾病,特别在发展中国家流行率相当高。在有接触史的家庭成员中第二次发病率较低,但实际上其发病率高于无接触史的对照者,提示戊型肝炎病毒(HEV)确实经粪、口途径传播,但比甲型肝炎少见。本文报告1例在南非开普敦 Groote Schuur 医院经血清学证实的戊型肝炎患者,很可能传染了1位医生和2位护士。
Intestinal transmission of non-A, non Hepatitis B (Hepatitis E, HE) is clinically similar to Hepatitis A with an incubation period of 3 to 9 weeks. Although hepatitis E was first reported in India, hepatitis E has now become a global disease, with a particularly high prevalence in developing countries. The second incidence was lower among family members with a history of exposure, but in fact the incidence was higher than that of controls without a history of exposure, suggesting that HEV did spread via the fecal route but not to a Hepatitis is rare. This article reports a serologically confirmed hepatitis E patient at the Groote Schuur hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, and is most likely to have a doctor and two nurses.
