Hepatitis E Virus Antibodies in Blood Donors, France

Hepatitis E Virus Antibodies in Blood Donors, France

Using a validated sensitive assay, we found hepatitis E virus (HEV) IgG in 52.5% of voluntary blood donors in southwestern France. This finding suggests HEV is highly endemic to this region. The high HEV prevalence may reflect local dietary practices, such as eating uncooked pork and game products.
