A 64-Year-Old Woman With Posttransplant Hepatitis

We report a case of a 64-year-old woman who underwent liver transplantation for chronic hepatitis C infection with cirrhosis. Several months after transplantation, she underwent a liver biopsy as part of a workup for abnormal serologic studies and transaminase elevation. The biopsy showed nonspecific hepatitis. Eventually, additional serologic testing demonstrated hepatitis E viral infection. Causes of hepatitis and other forms of posttransplant liver disease, including hepatitis E, are discussed.
