The term “HEV” was searched on PubMed against the following terms: “neurology”, “neurological symptoms”, “neurological manifestations”, “Guillain–Barré syndrome”, “neuralgic amyotrophy”, “encephalitis” and“peripheral nerve”. *A case reported by Kamaret al.(2010)11 and a case reported by Dalton et al.(2011)12were included in the study by Kamaret al.(2011)10. ‡Some of these cases are also reported in the study by Blasco-Perrin et al.(2015)39. Cases from this study have been previously reported in the study by Kamaret al.(2011)10. In summary, 7 cases were reported in more than one study (2 cases that occurred in IS patients and 5 other cases in IC patients).§HEV RNA was not detected in the serum but it was present in the stools in 1 patient.ALT, alanine aminotransferase; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; GBS, Guillain–Barré syndrome; HEV, hepatitis E virus; IC, immunocompetent; IS, immunosuppressed; IVIg, intravenous immunoglobulin; NR, not reported; Peg-IFN, pegylated interferon;PP, plasmapheresis. Of note, in a large number of reports, HEV RNA was not assessed in the serum at the time of diagnosis ofneurological manifestations.
