ABSTRACT
India is endemic for both Leptospira and hepatitis E virus (HEV). The clinical presentations of these diseases have overlapping features. We report a case of superinfection of HEV in a patient with resolving leptospirosis with underlying Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis of HEV in our case was established by HEV-RNA PCR as our patient was immunosuppressed. The present study highlights the need for molecular diagnosis in the case of HEV infection with strong clinical suspicion and negative serological results.
