| hepatitis D |
Infection with hepatitis D (HDV) occurs only in patients already infected with hepatitis B. Hepatitis D is spread mainly by contaminated needles and blood. IV drug users have a high incidence. The simultaneous infection with HBV and HDV produces more severe illness, and higher rates of long term liver failure, than HBV alone. The disease is usually self-limited, and due to its co-dependence on HBV, hepatitis is effectively prevented via the HBV vaccine.
