description Nobody can forget the devastating 7.0magnitude earthquake that struck poverty-stricken Haiti, Port-au-Prince recently on 12 January 2010. At least 75,000 people were killed and hundreds of thousands became homeless; authorities are worried about sanitation and outbreaks of disease in the region.

I reviewed the literature about the hepatitis E virus infection in Haiti and I would like to draw the scientists’ attention to this important topic in this time of crisis.
