In coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection, the liver is one of the most affected organs. Preliminary data suggest that patients with pre-existing liver disease have worse outcomes. Therefore, the prognosis of COVID-19 in patients with chronic liver disease has been examined in many studies. Most studies have been conducted in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. However, there is no research on acute hepatitis B and COVID-19 to date. In the literature, only two cases have been reported. Both patients died of fulminant liver failure. Herein, we describe a case with acute hepatitis B that was later infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2. The patient’s clinical course was stable, there was no worsening, and full recovery was achieved. This case showed that the prognosis is not always unfavorable in cases of acute hepatitis B accompanied by COVID-19.
