The prevalence of viral hepatitis D in the world
Relevance According to many researchers, hepatitis D worsens the prognosis of hepatitis B in 80–90% of cases, accelerating fibrosis and leading to liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Aims. To present a review of data on prevalence of hepatitis D

Epidemiology of the Hepatitis D virus
Hepatitis D is a globally occurring liver disease. It afflicts those who have been infected by both the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and also the Hepatitis D virus (HDV), since HDV needs the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to replicate.

How hepatitis D virus can hinder the control of hepatitis B virus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis D (or hepatitis delta) virus is a defective virus that relies on hepatitis B virus (HBV) for transmission; infection with hepatitis D can occur only as coinfection with HBV or superinfection of an existing HBV infection.

Modelling and analysis of a within-host model of hepatitis B and D co-infections
The Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defect RNA virus that requires the presence of the hepatitis virus (HBV) for cellular infection. A co-infection may result in a more severe acute disease and a higher risk of developing acute liver failure compared ...

Epidemiology of Occult Hepatitis B Infection Among Thalassemic, Hemophilia, and Hemodialysis Patients [PDF]
Context: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the most common disease commuted through blood transfusion. Occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) is a form of the disease which does not present Hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg) in the serum of patients; however ...

Modern aspects of anti-viral therapy for hepatitis D
Viral hepatitis D (HDV infection) worsens the prognosis of HBV infection course in 80-90% of cases, accelerating fibrosis and leading to liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis D affects at least 125 000 people in Russia, and in the world,

Pharmacotherapy of hepatitis D: the current and the future [PDF]
Hepatitis D virus (HDV), a satellite virus requiring hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) for propagation, is a hepatotropic virus implicated in acute and chronic viral hepatitis, with an accentuated risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
