[Delta virus infection in hemodialyzed kidney patients and patients with chronic liver diseases].
Sera of patients with chronic hepatitis and chronic haemodialysed uraemia were tested for both Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis Delta virus markers from 1985. Hepatitis Delta virus seroconversion was found in 10 of 88 haemodialysed patients and anti-Delta-IgG sero-positivity in 11 of 108 chronic hepatitis patients. The clinical course of Delta superinfections in haemodialysed patients was as follows: 3 infections were symptomless, 7 patients had acute hepatitis, two of the latter group died because of fulminant hepatitis. Of the 11 HBsAg and anti-Delta-IgG positive chronic hepatitis patients 3 had primary hepatocellular cancer.
