Genome sequence of a hepatitis e virus of genotype 3e from a chronically infected kidney transplant recipient.

ABSTRACT: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging cause of acute and chronic hepatitis in immunocompromised patients in Europe. We report the genome sequence of a genotype 3e HEV from a chronically infected kidney transplant recipient in southeastern France, the second HEV genome sequence from a transplant recipient and the first of subtype 3e.
