  13. Laboratory Diagnosis of Hepatitis E Problems Solutions ??? • Direct MarkersAg : in development • RNA : -very unstable • -short viremia *sampling improvement  *better handling of serum and stools *Local strains as capture Ag ?? • Indirect Markers Ab : -low titer • -low specificity *Diagnostic tests not required *Late sampling *Difficult accesibility of commercial tests *High costs for the tests.
