    Large proportion of undiagnosed anti-HDV positive individuals due to lack of testing - 2 year(s) ago

    Hepatitis D, in hepatitis B surface antigen-positive individuals, may remain undiagnosed due to lack of testing, particularly in primary care settings, according to a poster. Worldwide, chronic hepatitis D infection often goes unrecognized, partly because it is considered an orphan disease that professionals do not pay much attention to, Adriana Palom, of the Hospital Universitari Vall

    Heightened screening could yield higher active hepatitis D diagnoses - 3 year(s) ago

    Assessing hepatitis D virus patients for viremia, as well as expanded screening for HDV antibodies in hepatitis B virus patients, may help further identify active HDV cases, according to a presentation at UEG Week Virtual. “Our study nicely showed that the number of confirmed HDV cases in Austria is low, but potentially underestimated due to a lack of testing for anti-HDV antibodies in HBV

    Hepatitis D virus in 2021: virology, immunology and new treatment approaches for a difficult-to-treat disease - 3 year(s) ago

    Approximately 5% of individuals infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) are coinfected with hepatitis D virus (HDV). Chronic HBV/HDV coinfection is associated with an unfavourable outcome, with many patients developing liver cirrhosis, liver failure and eventually hepatocellular carcinoma within 5–10 years. The identification of the HBV/HDV receptor and the development of novel in vitro and animal…
