<scp>HB</scp>eAg‐positive hepatitis delta: virological patterns and clinical long‐term outcome

Abstract

HBV DNA levels are low in both HBeAg-negative and HBeAg-positive patients suggesting suppressive effects of HDV on HBV irrespective of the phase of HBV infection. The clinical long-term outcome of HBeAg-positive patients is not different to HBeAg-negative patients infected with the HDV.
