description Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an enterically transmitted virus; and several modes of transmission have been proposed, including blood transfusion, person to person transmission, and transplacental transmission. HEV during pregnancy is associated with an unfavorable prognosis for mothers and in severe cases can cause acute fulminate hepatitis and death. Transplacental transmission of HEV usually results in unfavorable outcomes of pregnancy, mainly fetal loss, preterm labor, and hepatic dysfunction in neonates. In this review, we will summarize the effects of HEV on maternal-fetal health in various clinical situations.
