Hepatitis D only occurs amongst people who are infected with the Hepatitis B virus. Transmission requires contact with infectious blood. At-risk populations include intravenous drug abusers and men who have sex with men. Symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea and fatigue. There are few treatments specifically for hepatitis D, although different regimes may be tried. Management also focuses on supportive care. Hepatitis D is a liver disease in both acute and chronic forms caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV) that requires HBV for its replication. Hepatitis D infection cannot occur in the absence of hepatitis B virus. The coinfection or super infection of HDV with HBV causes a more severe disease than HBV mono infection.
