## 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/
Chronic hepatitis B and its life-threatening sequelae are highly prevalent in China. There is a need for effective new therapies to suppress hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and ameliorate liver disease. In this study, we compared the efficacy of telbivudine, a nucleoside analogue, with lamivudin
