| Core Tip |
This case illustrates the emergence of occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) as a distinct transitional phase during sequential combination therapy for chronic hepatitis B. Unlike previously reported cases where OBI develops in individuals with resolved infection, this case suggests that antiviral therapy itself may induce an OBI-like state before achieving functional cure. As OBI has been associated with potential reactivation risks. Understanding the mechanisms behind treatment-induced OBI will be crucial in refining therapeutic strategies and improving long-term hepatitis B virus management. |
