[The role of delta agent in particularly severe acute hepatitis B and non-A, non-B hepatitis in HBsAg carriers]. 1985

G Nardi, and M C Ragni, and E Balboni, and N Zanchetta, and G Cambera

Role of delta agent in course of acute hepatitis B of particular severity and of hepatitis nAnB in carriers of HBsAg. Eighty-four cases of acute viral hepatitis have been studied with regard to the positiveness for delta antigen and anti-delta antibody in the Laboratory of clinical-chemical and microbiological analyses of the Hospital "L. Sacco" of Milan. The cases have been grouped in two classes: acute B hepatitis with prothrombin time of less than 40% acute viral hepatitis nAnB in chronic carriers of HBsAg. The prevalence of delta hepatitis was of 47.1% in the first class, while it was of 22% in the second class.

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.

D006509 Hepatitis B INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by a member of the ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS genus, HEPATITIS B VIRUS. 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. Hepatitis B Virus Infection
D006514 Hepatitis B Surface Antigens Those hepatitis B antigens found on the surface of the Dane particle and on the 20 nm spherical and tubular particles. Several subspecificities of the surface antigen are known. These were formerly called the Australia antigen. Australia Antigen,HBsAg,Hepatitis B Surface Antigen,Antigen, Australia
D006525 Hepatitis, Viral, Human INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).

D006526 Hepatitis C INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
