## Abstract Little is known about differences between individual hepatitis B genotypes and mutation patterns associated with lamivudine resistance. This study analyses the lamivudineโassociated mutation pattern in relation to the four major HBV genotypes AโD. The PubMed database was screened for ke

## Abstract Serial monotherapy and addโon regimes for treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may induce the accumulation of viral resistance mutations in patients, reducing the options for ongoing viral suppression. The induction of antiviral resistance by serial application of poly
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) resistance to lamivudine has not been extensively documented in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. We studied the long-term incidence of HBV resistance to lamivudine in HIV-positive patients. Sixty-six HIV-HBV-coinfected patients were studied while receivin
Adefovir dipivoxil was recently approved for the treatment of wild-type and lamivudineresistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, a congender of adefovir that is used in the treatment of HIV infected patients, has recently been shown to also be effective in patients w
## Abstract Evaluation of resistance pattern in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Retrospective study of hepatitis B virus (HBV) resistance mutations in patients found viraemic after firstโline treatment. HBV viral load was determined by a realโtime polymerase chain reaction and the substitutions
Background: In many transplant centres lamivudine is an important component of prophylaxis against, and treatment of, hepatitis B virus (HBV) graft infection. Drug resistant HBV species with specific polymerase mutations may emerge during lamivudine treatment. Aims: To examine the clinical consequen
