dc.description.abstractHepatitis Delta Virusu (HDV) infection is an important viral disease and its relationship with HBV and related liver disease is well known. This study investigated the role of HDV infection in acute viral hepatitis, HBsAg carriers and chronic liver disease cases in Turkey. The results of studies undertaken during the last decade were also evaluated. According to these studies, anti-HDV positivity is about 10% in western of Turkey whilst it is higher in the middle and eastern regions and 15-25% in the south-east in viral hepatitis cases. Delta co and superinfections are of equal prevalence in the southeastern region. Anti-HDV positivity is about 4% in HBsAg carriers in our country and the role of HDV infection in chronic liver disease is of great interest. Anti-HDV positivity varies from 20% to 50% in such cases with the highest prevalence in the south-east. However, the high seropositivity of HDV infection has been decreasing in recent years. To conclude, HDV infection remains a serious disease in Turkey, and should be considered in both acute and chronic liver disease. The significantly high rate of HDV infection in a number of liver diseases in south eastern Turkey is of great interest and appears similar to that of some other Mediterranean Countries, some Mediterranien Countries.en_US
