Does an acute or fulminant hepatitis b cause itching & rash.

A girl in past died within a year after hepatitis b exposure due to liver failure. Only symptoms she used to say unknowingly was itching in her skin (which earlier she never had). Later she developed advanced features of liver failure.
Another girl with proven hepatitis b exposure has started complaining itching and few macular rashes on her back which is not relieving since last 2 weeks. She has recieved two vaccine doses prior to exposure.
I know chronic hepatitis causes skin rashes and pruritus but do this early acute stage itching is a sign for impending fulminancy?
Pls answer if u r certain with ur answer and have read some reliable texts.
