Abstract excerpt
Entecavir treatment failure can be observed in compliant patients despite an absence of detectable resistance mutations by Pol/RT Sanger sequencing. We hypothesized that these unexplained treatment failures could rely on other mechanisms of viral resistance, especially on mutations selected outside of the Pol/RT domain. Partial virological response to entecavir was observed in three patients treated with...
