Abstract

A 56-year-old female HB carrier developed fulminant hepatic failure with propagation of precore mutant hepatitis B virus following two sessions of intensive chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was treated with interferon and cyclosporin A for the suppression of viral replication and enhanced host immune responses. She recovered from liver failure with histological evidence of marked regenerative activity.
