Abstract
HepatitisB Virus (HBV) infection can present with varied multisystem manifestationsinvolving the skin, kidneys, blood, and nervous system. We report a 57-year-oldman with HBV-related mononeuritis multiplex who had symptoms of multiplesensory-motor axonal polyneuropathies. He was evaluated for his neuropathy withnerve conduction studies and a sural nerve biopsy that revealed necrotizingsmall-vessel vasculitis. He also hadan acute liver injury. He was started on direct-acting oral antiviral therapy followed bysteroid therapy and this treatment led to the resolution of his symptoms and normalization of transaminaseswithout significant changes in nerve conduction studies at a one-year follow-up.
