## Abstract Adefovir has a potent antiviral activity as a rescue treatment against lamivudineโresistant strains. The aim of this study was to assess the patterns of lamivudineโresistant mutations and their influence on the virologic response to adefovir rescue therapy in patients with lamivudineโre
## Abstract Factors influencing the therapeutic efficacy of adefovir dipivoxil added to continuing lamivudine have not been elucidated in lamivudineโresistant patients with type B chronic hepatitis. The viral mutations influencing the efficacy of treatment with adefovir dipivoxil were investigated
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/
