HEPATITIS E VIRUS (HEV) HEV-RNA DETECTION BY PCR EDTA BLOOD (O.S)

Overview

Acute infections primarily affect adults, 15 to 40 years of age and are generally mild but the mortality rate is particularly high (10 - 40%) among pregnant women. Chronic HEV infections have been reported in immune suppressed people. This test is useful for the detection of HEV in plasma or serum samples.
