Overview

Neurological complications of acute hepatitis E are relatively rare. The case report describes mono­neuropatia multiplex with aseptic meningitis in a 52‑year‑ old immunocompetent man. Viral hepatitis E was confirmed serologically and by polymerase chain reaction from the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (genotype 3f). Symp­tomatic treatment was given. Residual neurological deficit persisted six months after the onset of the disease. Dia­gnostic of hepatitis E should be considered in patients with concurrent neurological symp­toms and liver cytolysis.

Key words:
hepatitis E – mononeuropatia multiplex

The authors declare they have no potential conflicts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study.

The Editorial Board declares that the manu­script met the ICMJE “uniform requirements” for biomedical papers.
