  • Title: HDV: thirty years later.
    Author: Smedile A, Rizzetto M.
    Journal: Dig Liver Dis; 2011 Jan; 43 Suppl 1():S15-8. PubMed ID: 21195366.
    Abstract:
    The hepatitis D virus (HDV) was discovered in Italy in the mid-1970s during a major outbreak of hepatitis D in the Mediterranean basin. The outbreak has been brought under control in Europe and throughout the industrialized world in the last twenty years; in parallel, the clinical pattern of HDV disease has consistently changed. Though the decline of hepatitis D has diminished attention to this problem and at present testing for HDV is not seldom neglected, hepatitis D is not eradicated in Europe and its circulation did not decline further in the last decade. Fresh new cases are cumulating in migrants from HDV endemic areas of the developing world. Hepatitis D remains a major health problem in many developing areas with outbreaks of the disease continuing to be reported from Asia, Africa and South Africa.
