- Abstract
The article discusses a case of chronic hepatitis E in a patient treated with rituximab and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for Sjogren's syndrome. Topics covered include foodborne infection being the likely cause of HEV hepatitis in the patient and the need for high-risk patients affected by autoimmune systemic diseases to be routinely screened before undergoing immuno-suppressive treatment.
