## Abstract The usefulness of fully automated chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (Architect HBsAg QT) for monitoring serum levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) during antiviral therapy remains unclear. Using this assay, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was measured in 20 patients with chron
Foscarnet (trisodium phosphonoformate) is a novel antiviral agent that inhibits viral-specific DNA polymerase. In the present study, eight males with chronic HBV carriage (HBeAg and HBV-DNA seropositivity >I2 months) showing chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH) or chronic active hepatitis (CAH) on liv
