Core Tip	Hepatitis B reactivation is related to an abrupt increase in hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication in patients with inactive or resolved hepatitis B. Most cases of HBV reactivation resolve spontaneously, but the existence of continuous immune suppression leads to hepatitis flare development and then to progressive acute hepatic injury. The introduction of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) treatment increases the risk of HBV reactivation in hepatitis C virus (HCV) /HBV co-infected patients. The high incidence of HBV reactivation in these patients highlights the necessity for HBV pretreatment screening before initiation and during DAA therapy.
