be prevented in non-immunized individuals who have been exposed to the virus by intramuscular injection of immune globulin, a sterile preparation of pooled human plasma that contains antibodies to HAV, or by prophylactic administration of the hepatitis A vaccination. What hepatitis is a non-envelope, hepatitis E (HEV) RNA virus that belongs to the genus of Hepevirus, in the family Hepiveridae and is transmitted by the fecal-oral route. True or False: Most HEV infections are True related to consumption of fecally contaminated drinking water in developing regions of Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Central Asia, all of which have poor sanitation conditions. Infections in the United States and other industrialized countries are rare but have been reported. Following an incubation period of 3 to 8 hepatitis E (HEV) what hepatitis causes an acute, hepatitis that lasts 1 to 4 weeks in most people who become infected? HEV is a fulminant hepatitis, associated pregnant with rapidly progressing disease and a high mortality rate, occurs more commonly in _____ women due to their changes in the immune response. In HEV, does the infection progress to a no chronic carrier Is there a treatment for HEV? no Because HEV is not easily cultured, serology diagnosis of it relies on what? Is acute or chronice infections indicated by the presence of IgM anti-HEV, which is detectable at clinical onset but declines rapidly in the early recovery? True or False: These antibodies are True typically identified by highly sensitive enzyme immunoassays that use recombinant and synthetic HEV antigens.
