A fully automated solution for Hepatitis E serology
- Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of acute hepatitis in the world1.
- Every year, there are an estimated 20 million HEV infections worldwide, leading to an estimated 3.3 million symptomatic cases of hepatitis E2.
- WHO estimates that hepatitis E caused approximately 44,000 deaths in 2015 (accounting for 3.3% of the mortality due to viral hepatitis)2.
- The virus is transmitted via the fecal-oral route, principally via contaminated water.
- Hepatitis E is found worldwide, but the disease is most common in East and South Asia.
