Abstract:
Hepatitis D virus (HDV) needs hepatitis B virus (HBV) as a helper to infect hepatocytes and spread. Co-infection with HDV and HBV may lead to accelerated progression and poor prognosis, but at present, the hazard and disease burden of HDV infection have been severely underestimated. This article summarizes the research advances in the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of HDV infection, in order to provide a reference for more clinicians.
