Abstract excerpt
Oral therapy for chronic hepatitis B remains suboptimal. Mathematical modelling of viral decay kinetics to rapidly assess potential antiviral regimens has proved valuable for human immunodeficiency virus and cytomegalovirus. We defined the kinetics of viral replication in 10 chronic hepatitis B patients randomized to lamivudine 100 mg vs 600 mg for 48 weeks. Viral decay kinetics conformed to a biphasic pattern in...
