Abstract
In the absence of prophylaxis, the reactivation of hepatitis B in oncology patients who are hepatitis B carriers is a well-known and often fatal complication of chemotherapy. The current recommendations in Canada and the USA are that patients who are positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) receive antiviral prophylaxis prior to chemotherapy. We report a 67-year-old man with B-cell lymphoma who developed hepatitis B reactivation following chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, prednisone and rituximab. Pre-chemotherapy, the patient was negative for HBsAg, positive for hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and weakly positive for hepatitis B surface antibody. Despite treatment with lamivudine, the patient died of fulminant hepatic failure. Our experience indicates that patients who are negative for HBsAg but positive for anti-HBc are still at risk for reactivation of latent hepatitis B during and after chemotherapy and may be considered for prophylaxis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
