Ribavirin for Chronic Hepatitis e Virus Infection in Ibrutinib-Exposed Patients

Abstract

Ibrutinib is an oral first-in-class Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the therapy of various B-cell lymphoid malignancies. Among ibrutinib-related infections, viral hepatitis are poorly described. We report our single-center experience with 4 cases of chronic hepatitis E virus infection and their management with ribavirin.
