Abstract
A case of reactivation of hepatitis B and development of fulminant hepatic failure in a pregnant hepatitis B virus carrier is reported. Although the occurrence or reactivation of hepatitis B in pregnancy are rare and usually not considered to be medical indications for termination of pregnancy, decisions regarding delivery and liver transplantation must be made if severe hepatic failure develops.
