Hepatitis B (HBV) reactivation after receiving cyto- toxic chemotherapy (CT), immunosuppressive therapy or after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) is a com- mon and serious problem, which can lead to hepatitis, hepatic failure and even death (1,2). Although HBV has uncertain viral kinetics in immu- nosuppressive patients, HBsAg loss or seroconversion is not an expected result. Herein, for the first time, we describe HBV resolved patient immediately after autolo- gous BMT. |
