2 Figure 1 Liver injury initially attributed to nevirapine (case 2) and later considered probably due to chronic HEV infection. (A) The portal area is expanded by a chronic inflammatory infiltrate with interface hepatitis indicative of chronic hepatitis. Several eosinophils are present. H&E stain; original magnification 400×. (B) There is portal fibrotic expansion with early bridging fibrosis. Ductular reaction is present at the edges of the portal areas. Masson trichrome stain; original magnification 200×.

3 Figure 2 Acute liver injury attributed to nevirapine (case 7) and later considered due to hepatitis E. (A) The biopsy specimen shows an acute hepatitis pattern with mild canalicular cholestasis. There is portal inflammation with many plasma cells and a few eosinophils and moderate interface hepatitis. The parenchyma shows numerous foci of lobular inflammation with acidophil bodies. H&E stain; original magnification 200×. (B) There is early periportal fibrosis and mild ductular reaction. Masson trichrome stain; original magnification 200×.
