We investigated the clinical characteristics and therapeutic strategies for paediatric liver transplant (PLT) recipients who experienced de novo hepatitis B virus infection and the features of HBsAg seroconversion. A total of 821 PLT were performed in HBV‐free recipients between January 2013 and January 2019 in Paediatric Organ Transplant Center, Tianjin First Central Hospital. Twenty‐one recipients developed de novo HBV infection, the clinical data were analysed. The overall incidence of de novo HBV infection was 2.5%. Only one recipient received an HBcAb‐negative graft, 20 recipients received HBcAb‐positive grafts. The incidence of de novo HBV infection in HBcAb‐negative and HBcAb‐positive graft recipients were 0.2% and 6.3%, respectively. Fifteen de novo HBV‐infected recipients showed HBsAg seroconversion, the incidence of HBsAg seroconversion was 71.4%. The median time from the diagnosis of de novo HBV infection to HBsAg seroconversion was 15 (1, 73) months. Recipients with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) titre <1000 IU/L and negative hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) at the time of de novo HBV infection diagnosis were more likely to achieve HBsAg seroconversion. Nucleotide analogues were effective in treating recipients with de novo HBV infection. De novo HBV infection does not impact liver graft function as well as recipient and graft survival rate. De novo HBV infection does not impact PLT recipient outcomes under close monitoring and appropriate treatment. High incidence of HBsAg seroconversion can be achieved after anti‐viral therapy.
