Which hepatitis virus requires another virus in order to spread?
Answer: B
Correct answer: Hepatitis D
The delta agent carries its own genome and antigen but no envelope gene, so it can be packaged and released only in a cell also making hepatitis B surface antigen. It therefore occurs only as a coinfection with B or as a superinfection of a chronic carrier, the latter carrying the worse prognosis.
