abstract = {Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is the most common form
of viral hepatitis and is reported to cause neurological
manifestation in up to $30\%$ of diagnosed infections. We
evaluated the medical reports of all patients (n = 29,994)
who were discharged from the Department of Neurology of Ulm
University between 01.01.2015 and 30.09.2022 to detect
neurological manifestations of HEV. In addition, we
retrospectively analyzed the serum samples of n = 99
patients representing different neurological diseases
possibly related to HEV for anti-HEV-IgM and anti-HEV-IgG.
At the time of discharge from hospital, the etiology of
neurological symptoms in these patients was unclear.
Overall, five cases of extrahepatic neurological
manifestation of HEV (defined as anti-HEV-IgM and HEV-IgG
positive) could be detected. An increase of both, anti-IgM-
and anti-IgG-serum levels was significantly more common in
neuralgic amyotrophy/plexus neuritis/radiculitis than in
AIDP/CIDP (P = 0.01), meningitis/encephalitis (P = 0.02),
idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis (P = 0.02) and
tension headache (P = 0.02). In $15\%$ (n = 15 out of 99) of
retrospectively analyzed serum samples, conspicuous positive
anti-HEV-IgG levels were detected. This finding was most
common in AIDP/CIDP. In conclusion, results of this study
indicate neurological manifestation of HEV to be a rare but
still underestimated course of disease, occurring at any age
and gender. Therefore, testing for HEV should be considered
in patients with neurological symptoms of unknown origin,
especially in those with neuralgic amyotrophy/plexus
neuritis.},
