Details of the clinical course from 24 to 29 months after the end of chemotherapy. Serum HBV-DNA became positive at 24 months and increased to 3.3 log copies/mL at 27 months. HBsAg, HBeAg and HBcrAg reverted at the same time. Two weeks later, laboratory data showed a further increase in the serum HBV-DNA levels and reconversion of HBeAg without elevation of serum ALT levels. The patient started taking entecavir (ETV) again at 28 months. After restarting ETV, serum HBV-DNA, HBsAg, HBeAg and HBcrAg immediately turned negative.
