Hepatitis E virus (HEV), computer illustration. HEV particles (virions) are composed of an outer protein coat (capsid) encasing RNA (ribonucleic acid), the genetic material of the virus. Infection with HEV causes inflammation of the liver and jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and skin). Hepatitis E is particularly dangerous for pregnant women. | |
