## Abstract Adefovir dipivoxil has been used alone or together with lamivudine to suppress lamivudine‐resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, the dynamics of HBV populations under different selection pressures and their impact on treatment outcome are poorly understood. Pyrosequencing® was appl
## Abstract The aims of this study were to assess the long‐term efficacy of lamivudine (LAM) plus adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) combination therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B resistant to LAM, to identify predictive factors of complete viral response (HBV‐DNA <2.6 log copies/ml at 12 months of
## Abstract No study has reported on the comparative effect of adefovir (ADV) add‐on lamivudine (LAM) versus switching to entecavir (ETV) in LAM‐resistant patients with chronic hepatitis B. From October 2007 to September 2008, 92 consecutive LAM‐resistant patients were enrolled (47 LAM + ADV and 45
Entecavir (ETV) is currently recommended as a rescue therapy purely for adefovir (ADV)resistant chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. We evaluated the efficacy of ETV in patients who were resistant to lamivudine (LAM)/ADV sequential therapy and in those resistant to LAM monotherapy. Fifty LAM/
