Fulminant hepatic failure in non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients treated with chemotherapy.

L T Soh1, P T Ang, I Sng, E J Chua, Y W Ong.   

Abstract

Chemotherapy is the mainstay of therapy for patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Among side-effects associated with the use of chemotherapy, immunosuppression is one which can be potentially fatal. In hepatitis B carriers, immunosuppression permits widespread infection of the hepatocytes and its subsequent withdrawal causes an "immunological rebound" leading to massive necrosis of hepatocytes. 4 patients who died of fulminant hepatitis following chemotherapy are reported. These were patients with positive hepatitis B serology. Caution is advised when treating non-Hodgkin lymphoma in patients from hepatitis B endemic regions.
