Causes

  • Caused by the Hepatitis E virus (HEV)
  • HEV is found in the stool (feces) of persons and animals with hepatitis E.
  • HEV is spread by eating or drinking contaminated food or water.
  • Transmission from person to person occurs less commonly than with hepatitis A virus
  • Most outbreaks in developing countries have been associated with contaminated drinking water. [2]
