Abstract

Hepatitis D (HD)
HDV infection was discovered by Rizzetto, et al in Italy in 1977.¹ The HD virus was formerly called delta antigen or delta virus. It is found within certain HBsAg particles. Although closely associated with HBV it is distinct from the known antigens of HBV. In blood HDV is surrounded by an envelope of HBsAg. So far only one serotype of HDV is recognized all over the world.
