RESUMO
One hundred Lebanese volunteers blood donors were tested for the qualitative detection of antibodies against hepatitis E virus [HEV] by an immunoenzymatic method. This figure allows us to confirm the presence of infection due to HEV in Lebanon. More studies on a larger panel are necessary to confirm this result. This study leads us to suspect an HEV infection in front of an acute non A, non B, non C hepatitis even if the patients have not lived in an endemic area
