摘要: Background and Aims: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection causes an acute, self-limiting hepatitis that is associated with high mortality, especially in pregnant women. Our previous clinical experiences indicated there was a prevalence of A (HAV) among school-age children the city Ahvaz (in southwest Iran). Due to fact HEV transmitted generally by same route as HAV, present study performed determine seroprevalence Ahvaz. Methods: In cross-sectional study, anti-HEV antibodies determined sera from 566 aged 6–15 years enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The population included 257 (45.4%) males 309 (54.6%) females. Results: Anti-HEV were detected 48 (8.5%; 95% CI, 6.3-11.1). not statistically different between females or age groups. Conclusions: relatively prevalent live Iran, further studies are needed
