Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a leading cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. While traditionally linked to poor sanitation in endemic areas, evidence shows increasing circulation in developed settings. In Brazil, however, population‐based data remain limited. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate HEV seroprevalence and identify associated risk factors in the general population of a metropolis in Northeastern Brazil.
