- Abstract
The article comments on the papers "Subacute hepatic failure due to hepatitis," by R. Jeyamani and colleagues and "Hepatitis E virus as an etiology of acute exacerbation of previously unrecognized asymptomatic patients with hepatitis B virus-related chronic liver disease," by M. Kumar and colleagues in this issue. It is pointed out that one significant finding is that HEV may develop into chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis in patients with weak immune systems.
