Core Tip	We report the first documented case of hepa­titis B virus (HBV) subgenotype F3 reactivation with vaccine escape mutations in a patient after kidney transplantation. We successfully treated this patient with entecavir. This case illustrates a specific clinical si­tuation in which the current World Health Organization HBV vaccine may be unsuccessful, and third generation vaccines should be considered.
