Because of this reason we investigated the frequency of anti-HDV in chronic active hepatitis B patients. Anti-HDV was looked into 120 patients with chronic active hepatitis B. The relation between anti-HDV positive patients and age, sex, carrying time of HBsAg and positively of HBeAg was evaluated. Positively of anti-HDV was determined in 33/120 (27.5%). The relation between carrying time of HBsAg and positively of anti-HDV was found meaningful statistically (p= 0.001). But the relation between age, sex and positively of HBeAg with positively with anti-HDV was not found meaningful (p> 0.05). Positively of anti-HDV was found at high ratio (27.5%) in chronic hepatitis B patients so that they were evaluated surely about HDV infection.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHepatitis BHepatitis DeltaEpidemiologyRisk FactorsArticle1112629WOS:000217140200001N/A
