Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the predominant cause of water-borne epidemics, sporadic acute viral hepatitis (AVH) in adults and fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) among pregnant women and other adults in India. This preliminary study was designed to examine the association of viral load and certain host immune responses with uneventful recovery or progression to FHF.
