Chronic hepatitis B with acute exacerbation – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/120602294

Acute exacerbations (also called acute flares) of chronic hepatitis B associated liver damage usually occur during the immune-active stage (both immune clearance phase and immune reactivation phase), as the host immune system tries to control the virus and kill virus-infected hepatocytes.
