Abstract
The simultaneous development of acute hyperparathyroidism and viral hepatitis B infection in a 72 year old male is described. Resolution of the hepatitis was accompanied by improvement in the parathyroid hormone mediated hypercalcaemia. It is postulated that antibodies to the hepatitis B virus may have altered the calcium 'set point' allowing uncontrolled synthesis and release of parathyroid hormone during the acute illness.Entities:
