The prevalence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the mid-United States is not well defined. We tested 65 patients seen between 1983 and 1986 with HBV infection in Denver for evidence of coexisting HDV infection. Five patients had anti-delta (delta) antibody. The prevalence of HDV infection was higher in patients with chronic hepatitis B (4/37) than in patients with acute hepatitis B (1/28). The prevalence of HDV infection in male homosexuals (3/32) was similar to reported figures, but the incidence of delta-infection in intravenous drug users in Denver was usually low (1/16). In comparison to Los Angeles, New York, southern Italy, and Sweden, Denver appears to have a low incidence of HDV infection, which probably reflects its low prevalence in the drug-using population.
美国中部地区乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）感染者中丁型肝炎病毒（HDV）感染的流行情况尚不明确。我们对1983年至1986年间在丹佛市就诊的65例HBV感染者进行检测，以寻找合并HDV感染的证据。5例患者有抗δ抗体。慢性乙型肝炎患者中HDV感染率（4/37）高于急性乙型肝炎患者（1/28）。男性同性恋者中HDV感染率（3/32）与报告数据相似，但丹佛市静脉吸毒者中δ感染率通常较低（1/16）。与洛杉矶、纽约、意大利南部和瑞典相比，丹佛市HDV感染率似乎较低，这可能反映出其在吸毒人群中的低流行率。
