Hepatitis E: Hepatitis E virus infection is associated with neurologic dysfunctions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, encephalitis, meningitis and transverse myelitis. A recent animal study indicates that hepatitis E virus is able to damage the blood-brain barrier and replicate in brain and spinal cord. These results support the causative role of the virus in pathogenesis of neurologic disorders.

Liver cirrhosis: The Baveno VI guidelines propose that cirrhotic patients with a liver stiffness < 20 kPa and a platelet count > 150,000/µl can avoid screening endoscopy as their combination is highly specific for excluding clinically significant varices. A current study validates these criteria, with a negative predictive value of 0.98.
