Figure 3 Typical serologic pattern of hepatitis delta virus superinfection: Severe acute hepatitis is characterised by alanine aminotransferases elevation that follows the peak of hepatitis delta virus viremia and is coincidental with IgM anti-HD rise. Markers of HBV infection are usually inhibited. IgM anti-HBc and HBV DNA typically test negative. HDV: Hepatitis delta virus; HBsAg: Hepatitis B surface antigen; ALT: Alanine aminotransferases.
