Background The hepatitis delta virus (HDV) causes the most aggressive form of chronic viral hepatitis. As HDV replication requires hepatitis B virus (HBV), HDV screening is limited to HBsAg+ carriers. To date, individuals with HDV-antibodies and markers of resolved hepatitis B are considered cured. However, a subset shows elevated liver enzymes and hepatic fibrosis. Could they represent HBsAg-seronegative occult HDV infections?
Methods We tested for HDV-antibodies 406 individuals with markers of past HBV exposure.
Results Overall, 20 (4.9%) were reactive for HDV-antibodies. All were negative for serum HDV-RNA, including four with elevated liver enzymes.
Conclusion These results support the current policy of screening for hepatitis delta only in HBsAg+ individuals.

Prevalence and incidence of hepatitis delta in patients with chronic hepatitis B in Spain
Aguilera, Antonio; Trastoy, Rocío; Rodríguez-Calviño, Javier; Manso, Tamara; Mendoza, Carmen de; Soriano, Vicente (European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 09/2018)Background Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is a defective agent that only replicates in the presence of the hepatitis B virus. Accordingly, HDV acquisition may occur as superinfection of HBsAg+ carriers or following acute dual ... -
