Glucocorticoids and Antivirals for HBV Reactivation in Onco-Hematologic Patients.
Patients with inactive or occult hepatitis B virus infection and onco-hematological malignancies are at risk of hepatitis flare, hepatic failure and death due to chemotherapy-mediated reactivation. Nucleot(s)ide analogues can reduce reactivation risks and/or hepatitis. However, immuno-mediated phenomena combine to determine liver damage and clinical outcome. We describe in this report two patie...
متن کاملFactors associated with postoperative HBV reactivation in HBV related hepatocellular carcinoma patients with HBV-DNA levels less than the minimum
Objective: This study was aim to clarify the postoperative hepatitis B virus reactivation (PHR) and risk factors of PHR in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA levels less than the minimum.

متن کاملHigh pretransplant HBV level predicts HBV reactivation after kidney transplantation in HBV infected recipients
PURPOSE HBsAg-positive kidney recipients are at increased risk for mortality and graft failure. The aims of this study were to identify the outcomes of HBsAg-positive recipients who received preemptive antiviral agents after successful kidney transplantation and to analyze risk factors for HBV reactivation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 944 patients performed kidn...
متن کاملReactivation of persistent papovavirus K infection in immunosuppressed mice.
Papovavirus K (K virus) is a murine papovavirus that produces a fatal interstitial pneumonia in newborn mice and a clinically inapparent infection in older animals. The present study was conducted to determine whether the virus produces latent infection in animals surviving acute infection and whether the infection can be reactivated by immunosuppression. Mice were inoculated by the oral route ...
متن کاملRituximab Administration and Reactivation of HBV
Rituximab is a drug used for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and its range of use has expanded to the treatment of collagen diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and rheumatoid arthritis.
