Management of hepatitis B in special patient populations

Hank S Wang et al. Clin Liver Dis. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Hepatitis B virus is a common cause of acute liver failure. It can be especially problematic in patients coinfected with hepatitis C, hepatitis D or human immunodeficiency virus. In addition, immunosuppression-associated hepatitis B reactivation is being increasingly recognized following chemotherapy, biologic therapy, and organ transplantation. This article highlights treatment options in these special populations.
