ABSTRACT
The reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is well known complication among lymphoma patient related with chemotherapy. Rituximab is monoclonal antibody that targets B-lymphocytes for treatment of lymphoma and it increases reactivation of HBV. Although most of reactivation occurs in HBV carrier, it can also rarely occur when hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is negative. Furthermore it is less frequently reported in lymphoma patient when HBV serology shows HBsAg is negative and anti-HBs is positive. We report a case of HBV reactivation following 6 cycle of rituximab plus CHOP (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone) chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in HBsAg negative/anti-HBs positive 58-year-old male, with a review of the literature.
