A systematic review of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) drug and vaccine escape mutations in Africa: a call for urgent action

2018-02-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> International sustainable development goals for the elimination of viral hepatitis as a public health problem by 2030 highlight the pressing need to optimize strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Selected or transmitted resistance associated mutations (RAMs) and vaccine escape mutations (VEMs) in hepatitis B virus (HBV) may reduce the success of existing treatment and prevention st...
