Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โPositive Anti-HEV IgM serology must always be correlated with clinical signs such as jaundice, elevated liver enzymes, and exposure history. In pregnant women, acute Hepatitis E carries an elevated risk of fulminant hepatic failure, so timely serological confirmation is critical. I advise patients to share their laboratory report with a gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist for comprehensive management.โ
