Acute hepatitis b with delta-agent (coinfection) with hepatic coma is a serious, potentially life-threatening complication of acute hepatitis b infection. it occurs when the hepatitis b virus and the delta-agent infect the liver simultaneously, resulting in severe liver damage and inflammation. this can lead to a build-up of toxins in the blood that can cause a coma.
What happens during the disease - acute hepatitis b with delta-agent (coinfection) with hepatic coma
Acute hepatitis b with delta-agent (coinfection) with hepatic coma is caused by a viral infection that is characterized by inflammation of the liver. this infection is caused by the hepatitis b virus (hbv) and the delta-agent, which is a defective form of the hepatitis b virus. the two viruses together can cause more severe liver damage than either virus alone. this damage can lead to hepatic coma, which is a severe complication of the infection that can be life-threatening.
