Scope note: INFLAMACIÓN del HÍGADO de los seres humanos producida por el VIRUS DE LA HEPATITIS DELTA, un virus ARN defectivo que sólo puede infectar a pacientes que sufren HEPATITIS B. El virus de la hepatitis delta necesita para su cuebierta los ANTÍGENOS DE SUPERFICIE DE LA HEPATITIS B producidos por estos pacientes. La hepatitis D puede producirse concomitántemente con la hepatitis B (coinfección) o después de esta (sobreinfección). Al igual que la hepatitis B, se transmite princpalmente por vía parenteral a través de la transfusión de sangre o productos sanguíneos contaminados, pero también puede transmitirse por vía sexual o por contacto personal íntimo.

Scope note: INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS DELTA VIRUS, a defective RNA virus that can only infect HEPATITIS B patients. For its viral coating, hepatitis delta virus requires the HEPATITIS B SURFACE ANTIGENS produced by these patients. Hepatitis D can occur either concomitantly with (coinfection) or subsequent to (superinfection) hepatitis B infection. Similar to hepatitis B, 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.
