Hepatitis E is a rare and usually asymptomatic infection. However, its incidence is rising in France, and it can cause severe or chronic manifestations in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report a case of hepatitis E in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had immunosuppression due to treatment with a biological agent. Copyright © 2012 Société française de rhumatologie.
