Hepatitis E virus infections in patients with MS on oral disease-modifying treatment

Conclusion
HEV infection is an important differential diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury in pwMS under DMT. Our data do not suggest an increased incidence of acute HEV infections or chronification in pwMS. However, epidemiologic studies in immunomodulatory-treated patients are needed to further investigate HEV disease courses and extrahepatic manifestations.
