Pathophysiology
Hepatitis D is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV), a defective virus that needs the hepatitis B virus to exist. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is found in the blood of persons infected with the virus.
- Occurs when blood from an infected person enters the body of a person who is not immune.
- HBV is spread through having sex with an infected person without using a condom (the efficacy of latex condoms in preventing infection with HBV is unknown, but their proper use may reduce transmission);
- By sharing drugs, needles, or "works" when "shooting" drugs;
- Through needlesticks or sharps exposures on the job; or
- From an infected mother to her baby during birth.[2] [3]
