Hepatitis D virus (HDV) was discovered in 1977 in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Originally thought to be an unrecognized HBV antigen, the HDV nuclear antigen was later discovered to be a part of a new pathogen, initially known as the delta agent. HDV is considered a hybrid virus as it uses HBV surface antigen as its envelope protein and can only infect patients that concomitantly harbor the HBV. For unknown reasons, HBV replication is suppressed in HDV-infected individuals. This activity outlines the presentation, evaluation, and management of HDV and highlights the interprofessional team’s role in managing these patients.
