Chronic courses of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections have been described in various groups of immunosuppressed patients. We identified a particular high seroprevalence of anti-HEV in heart transplanted patients (Pischke et al., Am J Transplant 2012). However, the relevance of HEV infections in lung transplant recipients (Lu-TR) is unknown. We therefore studied in a first phase sera of 95 Lu-TR (including 44 patients with strongly [2 times ULN] elevated transaminases) for the presence of serological and virological markers of HEV infection using an anti-HEV-IgG ELISA and HEV-PCR. Anti-HEV seroprevalence rate was…
