Abstract:

Conclusion: In this study, HDV prevalence detected in our region was 1.36%, which is below the general average of Turkey. There is superinfection in the whole of what we identify as HDV Ab positive. In order to combat HDV infection, in addition to immunizing those who have not had Hepatitis B infection and the nonimmune community, transmission routes of HBV must be enlightened and the epidemiology of the disease must be well known. Screening of HBV-infected individuals for HDV will help identify infected persons and contribute to protection, control and treatment programs.
