ABSTRACT

Hepatitis E virus is widely distributed around the world. Two clinical cases occurring in the province of Matanzas were presented, both with diagnosis of E hepatitis confirmed through viral RNA determination in frozen stool; although patients came from faraway health areas, they coincided in the same time period. The first patient, a pregnant asymptomatic woman, was incidentally diagnosed due to an increase of cytolysis liver enzymes. Her evolution was satisfactory without repercussion on maternal wellbeing, fetal transmission, nor perinatal complications. The second patient, a metabolic syndrome carrier, had torpid evolution of a viral infectious disease leading her to liver failure and death. These cases highlighted the wide range of this disease according to its clinical forms of presentation and evolution. It was showed that complications may occur in any population group, in consequence it is important to consider this disease when making the differential diagnosis of liver infectious diseases.
