HBV-INFECTION DE NOVO AFTER ORTHOTOPIC LIVER TRANSPLANTATION: CLINICAL AND VIROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS, ASSESSMENT OF ANTIVIRUS THERAPY EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract
We studied 11 cases of HBV-infection de novo in patients after orthotopic liver transplantation performed because of non-viral cirrhosis. Serum НBeAg, was revedled in all patients. In most cases clinical course of HBV-infection was benign. Treatment with entecavir was more effective than lamivudin, and brought to НBsAg elimination in 4 patients. Treatment with lamivudin led to descrease viral load in all patients and HBsAg elimination in one case.
