Hepatitis E is well known to be a common cause of severe hepatitis on organ-transplanted people. However, several studies also show a risk of transition to a chronic state. It is necessary to carry out a preliminary study in order to determine the hepatitis E prevalence in the population of the French West Indies. The aim of our study is to make a systematic screening of the hepatitis E within this risk population; hepatic and renal transplanted people. Up to now, no severe hepatitis E case was reported in the French West Indies.
We would like to know if the systematic screening will change or not, this assumption.
