Abstract
We describe a case of severe acute hepatitis B developing in a patient with Hodgkin's lymphoma after chemotherapy and before radiotherapy. Entecavir was administered leading to virological and biochemical response, which allowed the scheduled treatment to be completed. The patient had complete haematological remission and made a complete recovery from hepatitis B.
