Study Overview

Brief Summary

This test-negative study is designed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of hepatitis E vaccine (Hecolin®) and to explore the prevalence of rat hepatitis E in Dongtai City.

Detailed Description

In this negative test study, residual clinical serum will be collected from 13 hospitals in Dongtai, if it was from patients born between 1941-1991 from 11 towns in Dongtai, who tested positive for ALT levels higher than 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). Detection of HEV IgM, IgG, antigen, RNA will be performed to diagnose hepatitis E (HE) in each individual. In addition, HE vaccination history will be collect. All the information above will be used to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of HE vaccine. Based on the study design, virological and serological detection (IgM, IgG, antigen, and RNA) of hepatitis E virus species C (HEV-C) will be performed to analyze the prevalence of rat hepatitis E infection in Dongtai.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of hepatitis E infection

Time Frame: Two months after sampling

In patients with ALT \> 2.5 ULN, HEV infection is diagnosed as positive when two of the following indicators are positive: (1) HEV-IgM; (2) Seroconversion or four-fold increase of HEV-IgG;(3) HEV-RNA; (4) HEV-antigen.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Rate of rat hepatitis E infection(Two months after sampling)
