PG - 389-91 AB - A 33-year-old man with human immunodeficiency virus type1 (HIV-1) infection was admitted because of acute hepatitis B. His serum alanine aminotransferase level was 1200 IU/mL and CD4 cells count was 268/mm3. Antiretroviral therapy including tenofovir and emtricitabine, which suppresses both HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication, was initiated. The liver enzymes decreased dramatically. The viral loads of both HIV-1 and HBV were suppressed below detectable limits. Seroconversion from hepatitis B surface antigen to hepatitis B surface antibody was acquired 19 weeks later. In this case, the initiation of antiretroviral therapy with anti-HBV activity during the acute phase of hepatitis B had a favourable effect on HBV serostatus.
