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...

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 issue for post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Antiviral prophylaxis can reduce HBV replication, severity of HBV-related hepatitis, and mortality; therefore, identification of patients at risk is crucial. It is recommended that all recipients and donors should be screened for active or prior HBV infection, including HBsAg, antiHBc, and antiHBs. Adoptive immunity transfer from the donor seems to have protective effects against HBV reactivation. Antiviral prophylaxis should be initiated in all HBsAg-positive patients.
