Abstract

Lenalidomide has a central role in the treatment of multiple myeloma and results in improved survival. As with other chemotherapeutics, it can cause several serious side effects. This is the first reported case of hepatitis E during lenalidomide treatment for multiple myeloma in complete remission. In case of liver chemistry abnormalities during lenalidomide treatment, the differential diagnosis should include hepatitis E infection.
