Hepatitis E virus in patients with decompensated chronic liver disease: a prospective UK/French study

In developed countries, hepatitis E is a porcine zoonosis caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype 3. In developing countries, hepatitis E is mainly caused by genotype 1, and causes increased mortality in patients with pre‐existing chronic liver disease (CLD).
