The effect of lamivudine treatment on the outcome of patients with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis is unclear. In a retrospective multicenter study, we have analyzed the virological events observed during lamivudine therapy in patients with HBeAgnegative chronic hepatitis an

We have previously demonstrated that combination peginterferon and lamivudine treatment has superior antiviral efficacy to lamivudine monotherapy in chronic hepatitis B. In this study, we investigated the long-term posttreatment virological response to this combination treatment. Sustained virologic
## Abstract The aims of this study were to assess the longβterm 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 (HBVβDNA <2.6βlogβcopies/ml at 12 months of
We determined the clinical outcome of hepatitis e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B patients treated with long-term nucleos(t)ide analog therapy starting with lamivudine. We evaluated 201 such patients treated for 3.8 Ψ 1.4 years and 2 historical similar cohorts: 1 treated with interferon
Hepatitis B e antibody (HbeAb) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA positive chronic hepatitis is a clinical entity, distinct from classical hepatitis B e antigen (HbeAg) positive chronic hepatitis B. Our aim was to evaluate the long-term therapeutic efficacy of the combination of interferon alpha-2b and
