Epidemiological studies have already shown that the rates of hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infection in patients with schizophrenia were five and 11 times higher, respectively, than the estimated general population rates [26] . In the current study, we found that the detection rates for HEV antibodies in schizophrenia patients were much higher than those in healthy controls. In the present study, the detection rate of anti-HEV IgG in schizophrenia patients with increased CD4 ? T-cell levels and the increased risk of HEV infection in schizophrenia patients. Moreover, significant differences of the serum IL-4, IL-10 and IL-12 levels were observed among schizophrenia patients with and without HEV IgG antibodies. Taken together, schizophrenia patients exhibited higher risk of HEV infection than controls in the present study. ./cache/cord-348179-i8w7huke.txt ./txt/cord-348179-i8w7huke.txt
