What is the main route of transmission of viral hepatitis E?


Your health is my mission, your recovery is my joy.
The main transmission routes of hepatitis E virus are mother-to-child transmission, digestive tract transmission, blood transmission, etc. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Mother-to-child transmission
If the mother has hepatitis E virus, the pathogen of this disease can cause intrauterine fetal infection through the placenta.
2. Digestive tract transmission
Because hepatitis E virus pathogens can exist in the feces of infected persons, if the infected persons do not wash their hands after defecation, shake hands with normal people, and the normal people grab food with their hands, it is easy to induce infection.
3. Blood transmission
Because hepatitis E virus pathogens can exist in the blood of infected persons, if there are wounds on normal people, and then contact with the blood of infected persons without protective measures, it is easy to cause infection.
