Hepatitis D virus (HDV) causing liver disease in both acute and chronic forms and this infection cannot occur in the absence of HBV. Approximately 15 million people are co-infected with HDV and HBV worldwide. In general, co-infection with HDV leads to a ten-fold higher mortality in patients than infections with HBV only.
