Schematic representation of HBV DNA and HDV RNA patterns over time observed in the study by Schaper et al. [19]. Three patients showed persistently high viremia for both viruses (upper left panel) while only 5 patients (20%) showed an HDV dominance with suppressed HBV replication throughout follow up (upper right). In eight subjects both viruses fluctuated, either in alternating (lower left) or in parallel (lower right).
