Abstract
The proportion of anti-HDV antibody positivity remains high in this setting and was significantly associated with more severe liver disease compared to those who were anti-HDV negative. More studies are needed to evaluate rates of HDV testing in other centers in Cameroon and the subregion. Preventive strategies for HBV prevention, which also apply to HDV, must still be reinforced by healthcare providers and policy makers.
