Presence of enteric hepatitis viruses in the sewage and population of Greater Cairo

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, Volume 17, No. 8, Year 2011

In Egypt, the disease burden of viral hepatitis is one of the heaviest worldwide. We conducted a survey of hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) in patients and sewage in Cairo. Our data showed that HAV (genotype IB) was predominant over HEV (genotype 3) and was circulating in the population and the environment. © 2011 European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases.
