Surveillance of the staff and patients at the Cambridge transplant and Dialysis Unit [Cambridge, England] for hepatitis-B infection since 1968 revealed the onset of antigenemia in 6 patients in 8 yr. The 1st serum of each patient admitted was examined for anti-HBc [hepatitis B core antigen] antibody, and 23 of 380 (6.1%) patients were positive. Since the presence of anti-BHc is taken to be evidence of previous infection, the occurrence of antigenemia in 3 of the positives when they were immunosuppressed after transplantation is probably due to reactivation of latent infection. This is a new factor to be considered in the control of hepatitis B after transplantation.
