[The hepatitis E virus, an unknown virus that reveals itself].

Abstract

La première cause d'hépatite aiguë dans le monde est due au virus de l'hépatite E (HEV). Cette infection virale a longtemps été considérée comme un problème touchant les pays en déve-loppement. Cependant, depuis l'identification de formes zoonotiques à la fin du siècle dernier, il est apparu que cette infection touche éga-lement les pays industrialisés. Le récent regain d'intérêt pour le HEV révèle des particularités de ce virus. Bien que considéré comme un virus non enveloppé, la particule virale du HEV est entou-rée d'une membrane lipidique dans la circulation sanguine où le virus produit en abondance des formes de sa protéine de capside qui ne sont pas associées à du matériel infectieux et qui pourraient servir de leurre immunologique. Cette revue résume les avancées récentes sur ce virus, dont le nombre de cas d'infection diagnostiqués augmente chaque année.

The first cause of acute hepatitis in the world is due to the hepatitis E virus (HEV). This infection has long been considered as a problem only affecting developing countries. However, since the identification of zoonotic forms at the end of the last century, it has become clear that this infection also affects industrialized countries. The recent renewed interest in HEV has revealed some particularities in this virus. Indeed, although considered as a non-enveloped virus, the HEV viral particle is surrounded by a lipid membrane in the bloodstream. In addition, HEV secretes abundantly into the bloodstream non-infectious forms of its capsid protein that could serve as an immunological bait. This review summarizes recent advances on this virus for which the number of diagnosed cases increases every year.
