Objectives: The objective of this study is to prevalence of hepatitis delta inpatients with chronic hepatitis B infection. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Period: Oneyear starting from February 2016 to January 2017. Setting: Patients OPD and admitted to Dowuniversity hospital and Zubaida Medical Center Karachi. Methods: Hepatitis B surface antigen(HbsAg) were analyzed for the presence or absence of Hepatitis D antibody (Anti HDV). 368patients with chronic hepatitis B were included to be part of this study. Patient’s age, duration ofillness and previous treatments were recorded. HBV and HDV virus presence was confirmed byusing Polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Out of 368 patients with chronic HBV infection,291 (79.07%) were males and 77 (20.92%) were females. The male to female ratio was 3.7:1.Patients were aged between 35-60 years. 251 (68.2%) were positive for anti HDV. 211 of themwere males (84%) and 40 were females (15.9%). Conclusion: We have concluded that HDVinfection is associated with higher incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma in patients. Effectiveand early treatment of HDV can reduce the frequency of patients advancing to decompensatedchronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma.
