In light of Zhenzhen Pal et al.'s (2023) “Diagnostic Efficacy of Serological Antibody Detection Tests for Hepatitis Delta Virus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis”, I was curious at how serological tests for Hepatitis Delta Virus affect the way we currently manage HDV co-infection with Hepatitis B Virus.

Good day, Ms. Villacisneros! To answer your question, serological tests for HDV do really help in diagnosing HDV co-infection with Hepatitis B. They help when molecular tests for viral RNA in relation to HDV is not available in some laboratories.
