	abstract = {SUMMARY: Indigenous hepatitis E is increasingly recognized in developed countries, where it may be a zoonosis. We describe the first case of transfusion-transmitted hepatitis E in the UK from a blood donor who had no history of recent travel abroad., Follow-up of the donor and recipients of the blood products was carried out using serological and molecular techniques., Acute hepatitis E was transmitted to one of two recipients. The infected patient would have received a larger volume of the donor{\textquoteright}s plasma. HEV subgenomic sequences carried by the donor and recipient were identical., This is the first case of post-transfusion hepatitis E in the UK. Secondary transmission of hepatitis E indigenous to a nonhyperendemic country may occur by blood transfusion. It is important that blood donors inform the transfusion service of all post-donation illnesses so that appropriate interventions can take place., Copyright (C) 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.},
