Abstract

Thirty-three HBs Ag positive patients underwent orthotopic liver transplantation and received long-term anti HBV (hepatitis B virus) passive immunoprophylaxis with anti-HBs immunoglobulins. All patients became negative during the postoperative period. Overall 34 months survival rate 67.32% and actuarial recurrence of HBs Ag was 11.1%. Reappearance of HBs Ag was associated with evidence of HBV replication and abnormal histological findings in the graft. Long-term passive immunoprophylaxis reduced HBV reinfection.
