Abstrakt: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) can lead to chronic infections in immunosuppressed patients. The use of ribavirin to treat chronic HEV has been well-established in case reports and guidelines. However, practical approaches to the use of this antiviral treatment in a post-transplant patient, including drug interactions, dosing adjustments, and monitoring parameters, are lacking. Thus, we present our real-world approach to the use of ribavirin to treat chronic HEV in a solid organ transplant recipient. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
