In this case study we discussed about a 65 years old male patient received prolonged immunosuppression therapy emphasized on risk factors and the mechanisms which induces the reactivation of HBV and helps to understand and quantify the risk of HBV reactivation and its consequences. We report an observation of an immunodeficient patient in whom viral B reactivation occurred one year after renal transplantation.
