Anti-HEV staining of the placenta: positive cytoplasmic anti-HEV staining in trophoblastic cells. The control placenta was obtained from a woman not infected by HEV. The patient and control woman had given their informed consent to perform HEV staining on their placenta and tissue samples were stored in a biobank (CRB BB-0033-00014). HEV, hepatitis E virus.
