Hepatitis E virus genotype 1f outbreak in Bangladesh, 2018
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a significant public health issue in many developing countries, causing waterborne outbreaks as well as sporadic hepatitis. We report here an outbreak of HEV genotype 1f infection during Apr-May 2018 among persons living at Halisohor, a low land of southern part of Chottogram District of Bangladesh. A total of 933 patients were admitted in Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Chottogram with symptoms of acute hepatitis. Among them 550 patients were tested by ELISA for HEV specific IgM and all were positive. Genotyping, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis based on ORF 2 region revealed that the outbreak was caused by genotype 1f and the strains were closely related to the previously reported HEV strains that caused outbreak in Bangladesh in 2010. The current outbreak was most likely linked with water supply as fecal contamination in water was evident and could be prevented by ensuring access to safe drinking water.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
