Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation can occur in immunosuppressed patients. Specifically, HBV reactivation after chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR T-cell) therapy is a known complication with few case reports and specific treatment guidelines. Our patient experienced HBV reactivation 27 months after CAR T-cell therapy even with 23 months of entecavir prophylaxis. This unique case highlights the need for further investigation into the risk of HBV reactivation after CAR T-cell therapy and the proper HBV prophylaxis during and after CAR T-cell therapy.
乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)再激活可发生在免疫抑制患者中。具体而言,嵌合抗原受体T细胞(CAR-T细胞)治疗后的HBV再激活是一种已知的并发症,病例报告较少且缺乏具体的治疗指南。即使接受了23个月的恩替卡韦预防治疗,我们的患者在CAR-T细胞治疗27个月后仍发生了HBV再激活。这一独特病例凸显了进一步研究CAR-T细胞治疗后HBV再激活风险以及CAR-T细胞治疗期间和之后适当进行HBV预防的必要性。
