We describe a case of severe reactivation of occult hepatitis B virus infection in a 49-year-old man, who was treated with high doses of chlorambucil for a Binet stage A B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). The patient was initially treated with lamivudine and subsequently with lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil combination therapy to control viral replication and allow for long-term anti-cancer chemotherapy with alemtuzumab (Campath-1H), which was introduced to rescue for a B-CLL relapse. During 20 months of anti-HBV therapy, ALT and HBV-DNA levels progressively declined and B-CLL was successfully kept under control by long-term alemtuzumab administration. (C) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
