Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have shown that the kinetics of hepatitis B virus (HBV) clearance during antiviral therapy are slow, requiring long-term therapy to control viral replication. It has also been shown that emergence of resistant mutants is accelerated by high HBV replication and hepatocyte turnover, which are common features in patients with chronic HBV infection. It is therefore important to continue research on...
