Hepatitis D is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus(HDV). HDV is known as a "satellite virus" because it can only infect people who are also infected by the hepatitis B virus(HBV).... People with hepatitis D can have more severe symptoms than those who are infected with HBV alone.... You can only get hepatitis D after coming into contact with the blood or body fluids of someone who is infected with HDV. 4, record 1, English, - hepatitis%20D

L'hépatite est causée par le virus de l'hépatite D et se transmet comme l'hépatite B. En fait, il faut déjà être infecté par le virus de l'hépatite B pour contracter l'hépatite D. La maladie entraîne une détérioration hépatique grave et présente un taux de mortalité plus élevé que l'infection par le virus de l'hépatite B seul. 2, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9patite%20D
