Overview
History
When hepatitis D infection occurs concurrently with hepatitis B infection, the incubation period of between 6 weeks and 6 months is the same for both. When viral hepatitis D infection occurs as a superinfection in someone already infected with hepatitis B, who remains HBsAg positive, the incubation period is thought to be between 2 and 10 weeks, on the basis of experimental infections in chimpanzees. Hepatitis D is most contagious just before the onset of symptoms but may remain infectious indefinitely in the HBsAg-positive person.[1] Symptoms of hepatitis D are similar to those of hepatitis B. The onset of symptoms is usually abrupt, and jaundice usually develops after the symptoms have disappeared.
