Hepatitis E Virus, IgM Antibody in Faridabad

Hepatitis E is an inflammation of the liver caused by infection with the hepatitis E virus (HEV). The virus is shed in the stools of infected individuals and enters the human body through a faeco-oral route. It is transmitted mainly through contaminated drinking water. HEV causes acute liver disease, which can lead to severe outcomes, especially in high-risk populations such as pregnant women, young children and individuals with weakened immune systems. HEV infection is often asymptomatic, but symptoms can range from mild to severe including mild fever, reduced appetite (anorexia), nausea and vomiting lasting for a few days; abdominal pain, itching, skin rash, or joint pain; jaundice (yellow color of the skin), dark urine and pale stools; and a slightly enlarged, tender liver (hepatomegaly).
