Hepatitis D, also known as delta hepatitis, can only exist as a co-infection with hepatitis B. It requires the presence of the hepatitis B virus to replicate and cause infection. Individuals can become infected with hepatitis D simultaneously with hepatitis B or can acquire it later, but it is dependent on hepatitis B for its existence.
