Infection with the delta agent can only occur in the context of coexistent hepatitis B virus infection. We describe a patient in whom the clinical features of acute delta hepatitis developed when seroconversion from hepatitis B surface antigen to antibody had already occurred and diagnosis of recent acute hepatitis B was based on high titre IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen. We discuss the significance of such a serological profile, not previously described.
丁型肝炎病毒感染仅在同时存在乙型肝炎病毒感染的情况下才会发生。我们描述了一名患者,在其乙肝表面抗原已血清转化为抗体后出现了急性丁型肝炎的临床特征,且近期急性乙型肝炎的诊断基于高滴度乙肝核心抗原IgM抗体。我们讨论了这种此前未被描述过的血清学特征的意义。
