Techniques for detecting hepatitis E virus nucleic acid by RT-PCR and digoxin probe spot hybridization tests were developed. The examination by RT-PCR test of 250 stored stool specimens from patients with acute hepatitis E gave a positive rate of 40.9% and was positive in one stool specimen collected 28 days after the patient had contracted the illness. Serologic examination yielded a positive rate of 66.7%, and also utilizing the DIG probe labelled with PCR product it was 66.6%. RT-PCR with the digoxin probe proved to be suitable for clinical diagnosis and basic research on hepatitis E.
