42 20-year-old woman was brought in to our emergency department after ingesting cylindrical battery as a suicide attempt. She had severe epigastric pain. Laboratory findings showed no abnormalities. Her medical history revealed asthma and operation secondary to key ingestion. The abdominal X-ray showed 8 cylindrical batteries; located in the stomach (6) and duodenum (2) (Figure 1). When consulted with psychiatry she was diagnosed bipolar. Patient was admitted to follow-up the discharge of batteries. Next day, abdominal X-ray showed the passage of 3 batteries to the colon (Figure 2). Since she had severe continuous epigastric pain, shortness of breath and tenderness in physical examination, endoscopy was planned. Three of the batteries entrapped in the stomach were removed (Figure 3). As she had asthma, in order to prevent allergic reaction colonoscopy was intended but could not be performed due to the inadequate bowel preparation. Remaining batteries were observed until passage by stool was confirmed.

De novo hepatitis B infection (HBV) occurs rarely after liver transplantion (LT) and is associated with severe hepatitis and graft loss. The liver grafts from anti-HBc positive donors are currently the main sources of de novo HBV infection after LT, which is usually defined by the development of positive HBsAg and/or detectable serum or liver HBV DNA in previously HBV naïve recipients. Here we reported the case of a liver transplant recipient with de novo HBV infection who had a favorable outcome after entecavir therapy. The patient received orthotopic liver transplantation because of end-stage cryptogenic cirrhosis and was found to have de novo HBV infection 6 months later. He was treated with entecavir and his serum HBV DNA turned undetectable 6 months later and HBsAg seroconversion was achieved 18 months later.
