Abstract

Abstract

Hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection is an important health problem around the world. The epidemiology of HDV infection has been changed significantly over the past 10 years due to widespread hepatitis B vaccination and human migration. HDV infection can manifest as co-infection or superinfection. Patients with HBV/HDV co-infection have a significantly higher risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma than those with HBV infection alone. Research and development are being conducted for new therapeutic drugs for hepatitis D, some of which have entered phase Ⅲ clinical trials. These drugs will replace the current therapies with lower efficacy.
