title: Hepatitis E: an emerging infectious disease in Germany?
abstract: Increased frequencies of HEV infections have been reported in several industrialized countries. We suggest that this finding might be explained by a better awareness of the disease and not by an increased incidence. Although reported HEV infections increased more than 6-fold in Germany in recent years, the seroprevalence remained unchanged (2 %).
