Both sequence entropy and genetic distances during the hepatitis E acute phase were higher in patients whose infection became chronic than in those who cleared the virus. Both sequence entropy and genetic distances during the hepatitis E acute phase were higher in patients whose infection became chronic than in those who cleared the virus. We therefore analysed the characteristics of HEV quasispecies at the acute phase of hepatitis E in 2 groups of SOT patients, one whose infection became chronic and the other who cleared the virus. Both the complexity and diversity of the PPR and the macro domain were higher in viral population of the patients whose infection became chronic than in those who cleared the virus. ./cache/cord-321132-xdpb3ukt.txt ./txt/cord-321132-xdpb3ukt.txt
