Core Tip	Myopathy is the most common side effect resulting from telbivudine. Lactic acidosis (LA) is rare but fatal, and LA caused by telbivudine has never been reported. Here, we report the first case of chronic hepatitis B developing severe refractory LA during telbivudine monotherapy. This case shows that telbivudine may cause muscle damage and even lead to fatal LA in chronic hepatitis B patients. Patients under telbivudine treatment should be closely monitored for muscular, blood lactate and other mitochondrial toxicity associated side effects.
