In assessing the prevalence of hepatitis delta (delta) virus (HDV) infection in 358 patients with acute hepatitis B seen in Los Angeles between 1983 and 1985 and in 196 patients with chronic hepatitis B followed between 1980 and 1985, we found that 23% of patients with chronic and 5% of patients with acute hepatitis B were infected with HDV. Among patients with chronic hepatitis B, the prevalence of HDV infection was 73% in intravenous drug users and 14% in homosexual men. Acute coinfection with the hepatitis B virus was also more frequent in drug users (8%) than in other groups. delta-Hepatitis is a common infection in hepatitis B virus carriers in Los Angeles, particularly in drug addicts, but also in homosexual men who do not abuse drugs intravenously.
在评估1983年至1985年间在洛杉矶就诊的358例急性乙型肝炎患者以及1980年至1985年间随访的196例慢性乙型肝炎患者中丁型肝炎病毒（HDV）感染的流行情况时，我们发现23%的慢性乙型肝炎患者和5%的急性乙型肝炎患者感染了HDV。在慢性乙型肝炎患者中，静脉吸毒者的HDV感染率为73%，同性恋男性为14%。吸毒者中乙型肝炎病毒急性合并感染（8%）也比其他群体更常见。丁型肝炎在洛杉矶的乙型肝炎病毒携带者中是一种常见感染，尤其在吸毒者中，但在非静脉注射吸毒的同性恋男性中也有发现。
