AbstractWe report the case of a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who, during chemotherapy according to the r-CHOP schedule (rituximab-cyclophosphamide-doxorubicin-vincristine and prednisone), showed a hepatic flare with jaundice. Given the patient's state of asymptomatic carrier of HBsAg, we began a treatment of telbivudine (600 mg/die), resulting in a regression of hepatitis flare and negativization of HBV viraemia.
