Reports of Hepatitis E (HEV) infection have increased in Scotland over recent years, as elsewhere in the UK. Laboratory reports (Scotland) have increased from 13 in 2011, to 161 in 2014.

In developing countries it’s a leading cause of acute viral hepatitis, globally accounting for 70,000 deaths and 3,000 stillbirths.
