Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D is a type of viral hepatitis[1] caused by the hepatitis delta virus (HDV), a small particle that are alike to viroid and virusoid.[2][3]
HDV is one of five known hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, and E. HDV is considered to be a satellite because it can appear if the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is present.[4]
