    Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the first cause of viral hepatitis in the world. While the water-borne HEV genotypes 1 and 2 are found in developing countries, HEV genotypes 3 and 4 are endemic in developed countries due to the existence of animal reservoirs, especially swine. An HEV infection produces many extra-hepatic manifestations in addition to liver symptoms, especially neurological disorders. The most common are neuralgic amyotrophy or Parsonage-Turner syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, myelitis, and encephalitis. The pathophysiology of the neurological injuries due to HEV remains uncertain. The immune response to the virus probably plays a role, but direct virus neurotropism could also contribute to the pathophysiology. This review describes the main neurological manifestations and their possible pathogenic mechanisms.

    Abstract Introduction: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) was initially thought to cause only acute infections, but the discovery of chronic hepatitis E in immunocompromised patients has profoundly changed our understanding of the virus.
    Areas covered: We describe the physiopathology, diagnosis, and clinical management of chronic HEV infection. The virus can persist in nearly two-thirds of immunosuppressed patients. Reducing immunosuppression is the first immunomodulatory strategy to cure chronic hepatitis E. But this may not always be feasible or effective. Ribavirin monotherapy for 3 months has been recommended as first-line treatment for chronically infected patients. Ribavirin is around 80% effective at eradicating HEV in retrospective studies. Apart from ribavirin, interferon has been successfully used in liver transplants recipients, but if the patient does not respond, no other alternative drug is available. The vaccine available to prevent HEV infection is one available only in China.
    Expert opinion: HEV infection is a major concern in immunocompromised patients. But the therapeutic arsenal is limited to ribavirin and interferon. Both produce several side effects and new drugs are urgently needed. Moreover, preventive strategies to limit HEV transmission and/or evolution to a chronic infection are also required.

    Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a worldwide disease and the primary cause of acute viral hepatitis with an estimated 3.3 million symptomatic cases every year and 44,000 related deaths. It is a waterborne infection in the developing countries. In these countries, HEV genotypes 1 and 2 cause large outbreaks and affect young subjects resulting in significant mortality in pregnant women and patients with cirrhosis. In developed countries, HEV genotypes 3 and 4 are responsible for autochthonous, sporadic hepatitis and transmission is zoonotic. Parenteral transmission by the transfusion of blood products has been identified as a potential new mode of transmission. HEV can also cause neurological disorders and chronic infections in immunocompromised patients. The progression of acute hepatitis E is usually asymptomatic and resolves spontaneously. Diagnosis is based on both anti-HEV IgM antibodies in serum and viral RNA detection in blood or stools by PCR in immunocompetent patients, while only PCR is validated in immunocompromised individuals. Ribavirin is the only validated treatment in chronic infection. A vaccine has been developed in China.

    Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most prevalent hepatitis virus worldwide. Genotypes 3 (HEV3) and 4 (HEV4) as well as rat HEV can lead to chronic hepatitis E and cirrhosis in immunosuppressed patients. Within the last decade, several options for treating chronic hepatitis have been developed and have achieved a sustained virological response. However, there are still unmet needs such as optimizing immunosuppression to allow HEV clearance with or without ribavirin, as well as alternative therapies to ribavirin that are discussed in this paper.

    Abstract While kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) represent a high-risk population for severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, almost half of them do not develop adequate levels of antibodies conferring clinical protection despite 3 doses of the mRNA vaccine. In the present study we retrospectively analyzed the humoral and cellular responses resulting from a fourth dose of vaccine administered to KTRs having an anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody titer below 142 binding antibody unit (BAU)/mL at 3 months post-third-dose. We observed a significant increase in anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody concentration from 6.1 (Q1 4.3; Q3 12.7) BAU/mL on the day of the fourth dose to 1054.0 (Q1 739.6; Q3 1649.0) BAU/mL one month later (

    Abstract Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infection is a worldwide disease and the primary cause of acute viral hepatitis in the world with an estimated 20 million cases every year and 70 000 deaths. Hepatitis E is a waterborne infection in the developing countries. In these countries, HEV genotypes 1 and 2 cause large outbreaks and affect young subjects, resulting in significant mortality in pregnant women and patients with cirrhosis. In the developed countries, HEV genotypes 3 and 4 are responsible for autochthonous, sporadic hepatitis and transmission is zoonotic. Parenteral transmission by the transfusion of blood products has been identified as a potential new mode of transmission. The prevalence of positive HEV viraemia in blood donors in Europe ranges from 1/600 to 1/2500 in highly endemic European countries. HEV can cause neurological disorders and chronic infections in immunocompromised patients. The progression of acute hepatitis E is usually asymptomatic and resolves spontaneously. Diagnostic tools include anti-HEV IgM antibodies in serum and/or viral RNA detection in the blood or the stools by PCR. Ribavirin is used to treat chronic infection. A vaccine has been developed in China.

    Abstract We explored the performance of a whole blood interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) based on the stimulation of SARS-Cov2-specific T cells by purified recombinant proteins. Twenty volunteers vaccinated with BNT162b2 were selected first for T cell response evaluation using an in-house IGRA, a commercial IGRA, and ELISpot showing a S2 > S1 poly-epitopic response. Next, 64 vaccinated and 103 non-vaccinated individuals were tested for humoral and T cell response (IGRA-Spike/-nucleocapsid recombinant proteins). Following the second vaccine injection, humoral (100%) and IGRA-Spike T cell (95.3%) responses took place irrespective of sex, age, and vaccine type. The humoral response declined first, followed by IGRA-Spike T cell response after the second vaccine injection. Altogether, this study confirms the utility of the IGRA-Spike/-nucleocapsid assay to complement serology in COVID19 vaccinated individuals and those who have recovered from SARS-Cov2.

    Abstract Introduction: We evaluated the performance of the automated Altostar HEV RNA platform for detecting HEV RNA.
    Methods and results: Clinical performance was determined by testing 81 plasma samples and 10 fecal samples manually quantified previously with the Realstar RT-PCR assay using the Magnapure instrument for extraction. The assays were concordant for 79/81 plasma samples (97.5%) and 10/10 (100%) fecal samples. The two plasma samples that tested negative with the Altostar assay had a very low HEV RNA concentration (1.6 and 1.4 log
    Conclusions: The Altostar platform enables highly accurate testing for the detection of HEV RNA in stool and the quantification of HEV RNA in plasma. This allowed us to shorten turnaround times and to save time for the technical staff.
