The entire genome sequence of hepatitis E virus genotype 3 isolated from a patient with neuralgic amyotrophy.

[neuralgic amyotrophy]

We report the case of a Thai male patient with neuralgic amyotrophy, presenting with acute and severe pain in the upper extremities, followed by patchy muscle weakness, associated with hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. The entire HEV genome was sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis and found to be genotype 3. Data on the most common HEV genotypes circulating in Thailand are scarce. The origin of infection and the mode of HEV transmission in this patient remained inconclusive; however, this study provides essential baseline data as a reference for further genetic analysis of HEV.
