## Abstract Lamivudine therapy often causes breakthrough of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and breakthrough hepatitis. The aim of this study was to determine the viral factors that relate to HBV‐DNA breakthrough with and without breakthrough hepatitis. Among 82 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB)

## Abstract This retrospective study investigated and characterized the YMDD motif of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase (RT) gene, in sequential samples of 17 South African patients with chronic hepatitis B infection on lamivudine treatment. The profile of HBV genotypes as well as t
## Abstract A retrospective review was performed comparing lamivudine‐resistance mutation patterns between patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) with or without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co‐infection. Medical records that included a genotypic test of patients infected with HBV and
Lamivudine is effective in suppressing replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the emergence of HBV variants resistant to lamivudine is a concern. Lamivudine resistance has been attributed mainly to a substitution of isoleucine or valine for methionine at residue 550 (M550I or M550V) in the
## Abstract This was an exploratory study to investigate lamivudine‐resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) strains in selected lamivudine‐naïve HBV carriers with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co‐infection in South African patients. Thirty‐five lamivudine‐naïve HBV infected patients with
