Hepatitis B Virus/Hepatitis D Virus–Coinfected Liver Transplant Candidate Receiving Hepatitis B Virus-Deoxyribonucleic Acid–Positive Allograft and Treated With High-Dose Hepatitis B Immune Globulin

Liver transplantation (LT) for patients with hepatitis D virus (HDV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) coinfection is uncommon in the United States. Previous case reports described poor outcomes when hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive grafts are transplanted in HBV/HDV-coinfected recipients. However, LT from an HBsAg-negative/HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid–positive donor in an HBV/HDV-coinfected recipient has not been reported. We describe the clinical course and management of an HBV/HDV-coinfected recipient who had LT from an HBsAg-negative/HBV-deoxyribonucleic acid–positive deceased donor and was treated with high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin in combination with an oral tenofovir alafenamide.
