Abstract excerpt

To assess the effects of prednisone and interferon on the distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) precore mutants, nine hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb)-positive patients with HBV chronic infection were studied. Patients were treated with prednisone (30 mg day-1 for 4 weeks, followed by 20 mg day-1 for 2 weeks and by 10 mg day-1 for 1 week), followed by recombinant interferon-alpha (15 MU thrice per week) for 6...
