[SEN virus--novel hepatotropic agent causing hepatitis?].
The author presents the review of world literature on infection of novel discovered SEN virus (SENV) after the initials of the infected patients, a human immunodeficiency virus-infected injection drug user. This single-stranded DNA virus, distantly related to the TT virus (TTV) has been announced as a major cause of non-A-E hepatitis. Genotypes SENV-D and SENV-H were more prevalent in the serum samples of patients with transfusion-associated hepatitis and were of lesser prevalence in serum samples from healthy blood donors.
