Retrospective characterization of the S open reading frame of HBV isolated from children with membranous nephropathy treated with interferon-alpha2b.

Antiviral therapy - 1 Jan 2010

Gous Natasha, Bhimma Rajendra, Kew Michael, Kramvis Anna

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A causal relationship exists between HBV infection and membranous nephropathy. The association is especially close in Black children in sub-Saharan Africa. Interferon-alpha2b is commonly used to treat this condition, but is effective in only 30-40% of patients. The reason for the poor...
