IN RESPONSE:
Dr. Mahale and colleagues postulate that HDV infection may have contributed to HBV reactivation in cases identified in our cohort. However, in our case series, there were no reports of HDV infection in either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System database or the literature that we reviewed. A limitation of the database is that data may be missing, so we do not know whether results of serologic testing for HDV infection were negative or whether testing was not done. Therefore, we cannot exclude HDV co-infection as a contributing factor in HBV reactivation from the case reports from the database.
