Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients with resolved HBV infection was found in 23 (4%) of 552 newly hepatitis B surface antigen-positive patients in Japan. Because one-fourth of cases develop into fulminant hepatic failure and mortality is 100%, management of HBV reactivation in patients with resolved HBV infection should be discussed.
在日本,552例新出现乙肝表面抗原阳性的患者中,有23例(4%)被发现存在乙肝病毒(HBV)感染已缓解患者的HBV再激活情况。由于四分之一的病例会发展为暴发性肝衰竭且死亡率为100%,因此应讨论对HBV感染已缓解患者的HBV再激活的管理。
