Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D, also called delta virus, is a defective virus that requires the helper function of the hepatitis B virus to multiply and is therefore only found in people who are infected with hepatitis B. Hepatitis D is the least common but most severe form of viral hepatitis.
