| Description
| - Background. Hepatitis B (HBV) reactivation induced by chemotherapy is a problem currently encountered in the management of malignancies. HBV reactivation occurs particularly in patients who were not checked for HBV status, and therefore have not undergone antiviral prophylaxis. HBV reactivation may ultimately lead to fulminant liver failure (FLF). Liver transplantation (OLT), the only remaining effective treatment option, is generally denied for subjects with a recent history of malignancy. Case Reports. We described retrospectively three cases of FLF caused by HBV reactivation in two men and one woman undergoing rituximab-containing chemotherapy for malignant lymphomas: follicular, diffuse large B-cell and lymphoplasmacytic types. The two men reactivated after eight cycles of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone and the one woman after 13 cycles of rituximab monotherapy; their hematologic disease was in remission. All three patients were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive with high HBV DNA levels. Neither man had been screened for HBV before chemotherapy; the woman had been treated with lamivudine (LAM) experiencing an HBV flare-up due to emergence of LAM resistance. All patients fulfilled King's College criteria for urgent OLT upon admission to the transplant center and underwent an urgent OLT. Their hemato-oncologic prognosis was considered to be favorable. All three patients are alive (54, 46, and 37 months post-transplantation), tumor-free and HBsAg negative on a standard HBV prophylaxis regimen: hepatitis B immunoglobulin and LAM + adefovir or tenofovir. Conclusions. Before chemotherapy appropriate prophylaxis for HBV reactivation should always be administered to at-risk patients. However, if reactivation with FLF occurs, OLT should not be generally denied.
