2 Figure 1 Clinicopathologic features. (A) Changes in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels. Arrows point to times of liver biopsies. (B) Histopathologic changes showing increasing portal and interface hepatitis with portal and septal fibrosis from 17 to 20 months after transplant. Top left: Month 17. Predominant lymphocytic infiltrate (Masson trichrome, 100×). Top right: Month 19. Some portal tracts with mixed portal inflammatory cell infiltrate, focal bile duct damage characterized by cytoplasmic vacuolation and intraepithelial lymphocytes, with no venous endotheliitis (H&E, 200×). Bottom left: Month 20. Ongoing interface hepatitis (H&E, 200×). Bottom right: Month 20. Area of central perivenulitis with hepatocytic drop-out and lymphocytic infiltrate (H&E, 200×).

3 Figure 2 Phylogenetic analysis of HEV full-length sequences from dromedary camels (genotype 7), compared with that from the patient by the maximum likelihood method. Reported camel HEV sequences and the patient's HEV consensus sequence are highlighted in the yellow box. Additional HEV reference sequences from other hepatitis E genotype sequences from GenBank were included. Gastroenterology  , e3DOI: ( /j.gastro ) Copyright © 2016 AGA Institute Terms and Conditions

4 Supplementary Figure 1 Phylogenetic analysis of the patient’s HEV open reading frame 2 sequence using 202 orthohepevirus A sequences. Camelid and patient’s sequences are highlighted in the yellow box. Numbers at nodes are bootstrap values from a bootstrap analysis using 1000 replicates.
