Zusammenfassung
In this report, we present a case of a 50-year-old immunocompetent man with Guillain-Barr, syndrome (GBS) associated with an autochthonous hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. The patient presented with tetraparesis and elevated liver enzymes. HEV infection was confirmed serologically and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from blood and stool. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a novel HEV genotype 3 ...
In this report, we present a case of a 50-year-old immunocompetent man with Guillain-Barr, syndrome (GBS) associated with an autochthonous hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. The patient presented with tetraparesis and elevated liver enzymes. HEV infection was confirmed serologically and by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from blood and stool. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a novel HEV genotype 3 isolate closely related to other subgenotype 3c isolates from pig livers purchased in Germany. This indicates an autochthonous, potentially food-related hepatitis E and is, to our knowledge, the first report about a neurological syndrome associated with an HEV subgenotype 3c infection.
