hepatitis D

We have a 45-year-old man from Africa with an HPV infection, a long history of known infection, E negative, as the majority of our patients are.

I threw in HDV negative because this patient came from an area of indigenous Delta, depending on what part of Africa you're from.

Although our program really isn't going to cover Delta tonight, we hope to do that sometime in the future.

No known family history of HBV or HCC.

Well, I want to leave you with a final thought.

The guidelines specifically mention checking hepatitis D status for hep B patients coming from endemic regions.

Wait, hepatitis D?

Yeah.

Places like Mongolia, Moldova or West and Central Africa.

High blood pressure disappear.

Hepatitis D disappear.

Neck pain, back pain, knee pain, waist pain disappear.

Be corrected.
