## Abstract To identify hepatitis delta virus (HDV) genetic variability and its circulating genotypes amongst infected Iranian patients, 25 patients with positive antiβHDV status from different parts of Iran were enrolled in this crossβsectional study. A portion of the HDV delta antigen was amplifi

## Abstract On the basis of historical studies, hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection is considered uncommon in the United Kingdom (UK) and mainly confined to intravenous drug users. In order to assess the current prevalence of HDV coβinfection in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV), a retrospe
We tested sera collected between 1976 and 1984 from 362 persons in a variety of epidemiologic categories with acute and chronic hepatitis B and from 76 hemophiliacs and drug addicts with hepatitis B antibodies for hepatitis D markers. Hepatitis D markers were common in hemophiliacs, drug addicts, Af
## Abstract Intrahepatic hepatitis D virus (HDV) antigen (HDAg) and serum HDV RNA are excellent markers of active HDV replication but the relation of IgM antiβHDV to HDV replication and histological activity is less certain. To further elucidate the significance of serum IgM antiβHDV, 90 paired ser
