Hepatitis E is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis E virus(HEV).... HEV is found in the stool of people infected with the virus. It's spread when someone unknowingly ingests the virus—even in microscopic amounts. In countries with poor sanitation, people most often get hepatitis E from drinking water contaminated by feces from people who are infected with the virus. 3, record 1, English, - hepatitis%20E
