Abstract:
Hepatitis B immune globulin use for preventing hepatitis B virus recurrence after liver transplant has changed our behavior radically, and it now seems that hepatitis B immune globulin has a vital role in preventing recurrence. New nucleotide or nucleoside analogues have promising results in treating chronic hepatitis and in posttransplant hepatitis B virus-infected patients. Hepatitis B immune globulin and other antivirals act on different pathways, so it is logical to combine these drugs to achieve maximum response in suppressing hepatitis B virus (HBV)-replication.
