A patient who had recently traveled from India to Tennessee was found to have acute hepatitis E. Improved recognition and serologic testing have increased the diagnosis of hepatitis E in the United States. For those at risk, hepatitis E should be considered in the differential di agnosis of acute hepatitis.
