Previous issue date: 2015 / Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil / O vírus da hepatite E (HEV) é responsável por infecções, em geral, agudas e autolimitantes. No entanto, quando se trata de pacientes imunossuprimidos, a infecção por este vírus pode levar a quadros crônicos e persistentes. Entre os pacientes imunossuprimidos, destacam-se os pacientes HIV positivos \2013 uma população consideravelmente grande, sobre a qual há poucos estudos relacionando a coinfecção HEV/HIV. A hepatite E pode ser causada pelos genótipos 1, 2, 3 e 4 em humanos. O genótipo 3 (HEV-GT3) deve ser destacado por ser tanto o único genótipo circulante relatado no Brasil quanto por ser o que acomete pacientes HIV positivos, levando à cronicidade da doença. Portanto, devido à carência de informações e dados sobre estes pacientes coinfectados e sobre o perfil da hepatite E no Brasil, principalmente devido às dificuldades no diagnóstico, o trabalho buscou aperfeiçoar a técnica de detecção de RT-qPCR e determinar a prevalência da coinfecção HEV/HIV em pacientes do Hospital Universitário Gaffre e Guinle, no Rio de Janeiro para melhor compreensão da coinfecção nesta população
Para tanto, 280 amostras de soro sabidamente positivas para HIV foram coletadas entre os anos de 2012 e 2014, extraídas e testadas por RT-qPCR aperfeiçoado com curva sintética de dsDNA e, posteriormente, com curva sintética de ssRNA, para detecção da ORF3, e controle interno (IPC) para confirmação da coinfecção. As 10 amostras positivas na PCR em tempo real foram testadas em triplicata e por PCR convencional para sequenciamento das regiões das ORFs 1 e 2 e para detecção sorológica de anticorpos anti-HEV IgM e IgG. Porém nenhuma foi positiva para detecção por PCR convencional nem por sorologia, devido a baixa carga viral e ausência de anticorpos anti=HEV IgG e IgM. Nos pacientes em que foi detectado o HEV-RNA, foi observada uma taxa de CD4 e CD8 menores que 1038 e 1254, respectivamente, porém, ainda consideradas normais para indivíduos infectados pelo HIV. A PCR em tempo real foi útil para a detecção de coinfecção HEV/HIV em pacientes com baixa carga viral / The hepatitis E virus (HEV) is generally responsible for acute self
