Plagiarism content:

It is unfortunate that the article has 91% similarity with a singular paper and the rest are measured at 3% totalling 94% similarity. Normally review articles are accepted for publication upto 25% similarity. This article with 94% similarity cannot be published and the original author/authors can claim authorship and will be a violation of copyright laws if it is published in your journal.

My suggestion is to reduce the similarity percentage under 30%, then it might be possible to publish in your journal.

Authors Statement: This is original content from the author and evidence confirms that there is no plagiarism. Similarity found in software by authors own work submitted during thesis defense.

The sample size of the study is very small (30) in number. How the sample size was calculated is not clear. The methodology is not adequate. How organisms were identified and how antibodies were chosen- not clear. 

The study was conducted in recent times but most of the references are more than 15 years back (2001, 2002,2003 etc).

Recommendation: Increase sample size, clear and elaborate methodology, use recent references. 

Study period should be at least 6 months.

Summarization: The Manuscript is well written. The title is adequate. The purpose, methods and results are clearly presented. It provides valuable insights into the clinical and public health challenges posed by HAV-HEV co-infections.

This article is well-structured, with clear sections. It addresses an important issue concerning co-infection of HAV and HEV and public health topic. It provides valuable insights into the rare phenomenon of HAV-HEV co-infection and serves as a useful resource for healthcare professionals in endemic regions. The study is limited to two cases, which restricts the ability to generalize findings or draw statistically significant conclusions. There are minor inconsistencies in formatting, especially in the references. It highlights the importance of recognizing HAV-HEV co-infections in clinical practice and the need for preventive public health measures.

Remarks to the Authors

a. Summary of perceived strengths and merits of the study:

The study is a valuable addition to the existing literature on viral hepatitis. It not only highlights an important clinical condition but also bridges the gap between individual patient care and public health strategies. The study serves as a reminder for clinicians to consider dual infections to avoid underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis in patients presenting with acute hepatitis.

b. Points for suggested improvement:

Including a larger cohort or integrating data from multiple healthcare centers would strengthen the findings and provide a more statistically significant analysis. Include follow-up data on the patients to explore long-term effects of HAV-HEV co-infection, such as potential liver dysfunction or complications like hepatic encephalopathy. Include visual aids, such as tables summarizing laboratory findings or diagrams illustrating co-infection mechanisms, to enhance reader comprehension.

Comments to authors:

These suggested improvements would enhance the study’s scientific rigor, practical relevance, and overall impact, making it more informative for both clinical practice and public health policymaking.
