Chronic hepatitis D outcome involves HBV and HDV genotypes and viremia
July 14th, 2006
According to a study from Taiwan, chronic hepatitis D outcome involves genotypes and viremia of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis D virus (HDV). "Genotypes and viremia of HDV and HBV may be associated with outcomes. This study evaluated the impact of viral genotypes and viremia on outcomes of dual HBV and HDV infection," wrote C.W. Su and colleagues, National Yang Ming University. "Viremia and viral genotypes were analyzed in 194 consecutive chronic hepatitis B patients with HDV superinfection and correlated with outcomes. The numbers of HBV genotype A, B, C, and nonclassified were 4, 57, 23, and 110, respectively. There were 51 genotype I HDV,...
