Abstract Hepatitis B reactivation (HBR) is a complication of immunosuppression associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To further complicate interpretation of hepatitis B serologies, false positivity can occur in patients with recent intravenous immunoglobulin exposure. This scenario is not well recognized and may lead to inappropriate prescribing of HBR prophylaxis.
