Prevalencia y características clínico-epidemiológicas de la hepatitis crónica por el virus de la hepatitis delta en la isla de Gran Canaria
Objective
The objective of this study was to know the prevalence and clinical-epidemiological characteristics of patients with chronic infection due to hepatitis D virus (HDV).
Patients and methods
A retrospective descriptive study was carried out on patients with HDV infection under follow-up in a hospital in 2023. All patients carrying HBsAg were tested for antibodies against HDV. HDV RNA detection was performed in all antibody-positive samples. The medical records were reviewed.
Results
Of the 340 patients carrying HBsAg, 24 (7.1%) had anti-HDV antibodies, and 6 (25%) had detectable HDV RNA (chronic infection). The prevalence of chronic hepatitis in HBsAg carriers was 1.8%. All patients had a genotype 1 infection. Half of the patients were of African origin and 29.2% were Spanish. Of the 6 patients with chronic infection, 5 (83.3%) had cirrhosis and 2 (33.3%) had hepatocellular carcinoma. Half of the patients had some exacerbation of the disease during follow-up. Of the 18 patients without viremia, 2 (11.1%) presented cirrhosis (one recently diagnosed). The mean follow-up time of patients without viremia was 13.5 years.
Conclusions
The prevalence of chronic HDV hepatitis in our area is low and in all cases it presents as an advanced disease, with exacerbations during follow-up. Patients without viremia have probably resolved the infection, as viremia was not detected in any moment.
期刊介绍:
Hoy está universalmente reconocida la renovada y creciente importancia de la patología infecciosa: aparición de nuevos agentes patógenos, de cepas resistentes, de procesos con expresión clínica hasta ahora desconocida, de cuadros de una gran complejidad. Paralelamente, la Microbiología y la Infectología Clínicas han experimentado un gran desarrollo como respuesta al reto planteado por la actual patología infecciosa. Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica es la Publicación Oficial de la Sociedad Española SEIMC. Cumple con la garantía científica de esta Sociedad, la doble función de difundir trabajos de investigación, tanto clínicos como microbiológicos, referidos a la patología infecciosa, y contribuye a la formación continuada de los interesados en aquella patología mediante artículos orientados a ese fin y elaborados por autores de la mayor calificación invitados por la revista.
