摘要

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every year hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection causes nearly 1.4 million new cases worldwide and the hepatitis E virus (HEV) is responsible for 20 million new infections and over 3 million acute cases. Although in most cases HAV and HEV infections are self-limiting, HAV is estimated to kill 100 000 people each year [1] and HEV nearly 60 000 people annually [2]. Pregnant women are at risk of more severe disease, obstetric complications and increased mortality if infected in the third trimester of pregnancy. The faecal–oral route is a well-established mode of transmission for both HAV and HEV and in the case of HEV infection person-to-person transmission is also an important factor in sporadic cases [3]. Outbreaks of HAV and HEV are therefore manifestations of the poor sanitation practices and lack of clean water supplies often found in developing countries. Humanitarian crises with large refugee populations can also be fertile ground for hepatitis outbreaks alongside cholera or other waterborne outbreaks, as was recently seen among Syrian refugees in Iraq [4]. Understanding the importance of the risk of hepatitis outbreaks in displaced populations can help in identifying outbreaks quickly and responding to them in a timely manner to reduce mortality and morbidity.
