Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Reported cases of hepatitis E have increased in Japan; however, the true burden of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is likely underestimated due to the high proportion of asymptomatic infections. We prospectively evaluated anti-HEV immunoglobulin G (IgG) seroprevalence, seroconversion-based incidence, and questionnaire-reported exposures in an occupational health-checkup cohort in Mie Prefecture, central Japan.
