Favorable Outcome of Severe Acute Hepatitis B in a Patient Treated with Antithrombin III and Antiviral Therapy

To the Editor—A 47-year-old man was admitted to our institution with severe acute hepatitis B (SAHB). The patient had suffered deep venous thrombosis of both lower extremities 2 years previously, and 2 mutations (C677T and A1298C) in the gene for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) were detected. Moreover, the family history was positive for thrombophilic states—his mother had thrombosi...
