ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

In a 3-year period, 38 of 48 persons testing positive for hepatitis E virus (HEV) immunoglobulin M in Los Angeles County did not meet the acute HEV case definition. Healthcare providers should restrict HEV serologic testing for persons with clinically compatible symptoms or epidemiologic risk factors.
