Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Patients Receiving Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Considering a steady increase in the number of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (allo-HSCT) worldwide and the significant proportion of the world’s population that has been exposed to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV reactivation following allo-HSCT remains an important issu...
