Abstract
Imatinib (Gleevec, Novartis), an inhibitor of BCR-ABL, platelet-derived growth factor, and KIT receptor tyrosine kinases, is widely used in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. We describe a case of activation of chronic hepatitis B infection associated with imatinib therapy.Entities:
