Objective: To investigate the sero-epidemiological characteristics of the hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection among hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients in Xinjiang region. Methods: A single-center cross-sectional analysis method was used to select 264 cases of hepatitis B virus infection who were hospitalized in the Center for Infectious Diseases and Liver Diseases of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from August 2021 to January 2022. All patients were tested for HDV Ag, HDV IgM, HDV IgG, and HDV RNA. The infection status of hepatitis D virus was analyzed by grouping according to their clinical type, HBV viral load, and HBsAg level. A paired t-test was used for data with measurement data conforming to normal distribution. A paired rank sum test was used for data that did not conform to normal distribution before and after treatment. Results: A total of 36 cases (13.64%) and 26 cases (9.85%) were positive for HDV serological markers and HDV RNA. According to clinical type grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers in patients with chronic hepatitis B, hepatitis B-related cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure were 13.46%, 12.43%, and 20.83%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=0.86, P=0.649). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 11.54%, 8.11%, and 20.83%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=4.015, P=0.134). According to HBV viral load grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers among patients with viral loads <20, 20-2 000, and >2 000 IU/ml were 17.15%, 7.81%, and 6.67%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant among the three groups (χ2=4.846, P=0.089). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 9.47%, 10.94%, and 10%, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant among the three groups (χ2=0.113, P=0.945). According to HBsAg level grouping, the positive rates of HDV serum markers in HBsAg<0.05, 0.05~250, and >250 IU/ml were 14.29%, 16.67%, and 10.85%, respectively, and there was no statistically significance between the three groups (χ2=1.745, P=0.418). The positive rates of HDV RNA were 4.76%, 8.77%, and 11.63%, respectively, and there was no statistically significant difference among the three groups (χ2=1.221, P=0.543). Clinical outcome, disease course, HBV DNA, serological markers of viral hepatitis, routine blood test, biochemical indicators, coagulation function, and other laboratory indicators were compared between HDV serum marker and/or nucleic acid positive and negative patients, and there was no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: The positive rate of HDV serological markers and HDV RNA is 13.64% and 9.85%, respectively, at a single center in the Xinjiang region, and there is still a high HDV infection rate among the HBV-infected patients with low levels of viral load and HBsAg.

D003698 Hepatitis Delta Virus A defective virus, containing particles of RNA nucleoprotein in virion-like form, present in patients with acute hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis. It requires the presence of a hepadnavirus for full replication. This is the lone species in the genus Deltavirus.

D003699 Hepatitis D INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS DELTA VIRUS, a defective RNA virus that can only infect HEPATITIS B patients. For its viral coating, hepatitis delta virus requires the HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGENS produced by these patients. Hepatitis D can occur either concomitantly with (coinfection) or subsequent to (superinfection) hepatitis B infection. Similar to hepatitis B, it is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact.
