Changing Epidemiology of Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E Viruses in China, 1990-2014.

ABSTRACT: We compared the epidemiology of hepatitis A and hepatitis E cases in China from 1990-2014 to better inform policy and prevention efforts. The incidence of hepatitis A cases declined dramatically, while hepatitis E incidence increased. During 2004-2014, hepatitis E mortality rates surpassed those of hepatitis A.
