A randomised, controlled trial comparing acyclovir, 45 mg/kg/day as a continuous IV infusion for 28 days, with no other therapy, was carried out in 30 stable HBsAg carriers seropositive for HBeAg for more than 6 months. Twenty-eight had hepatitis B virus DNA-polymerase activity and/or hepatitis B vi

## Abstract Nineteen Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, seropositive for HBV e antigen (HBeAg) and HBV DNA on at least three occasions in 6 months, were randomised to receive either recombinant human interferongamma (rlFNฮณ) 0.1 mg/m^2^ intramuscularly thrice weekly for

In a previous study a partial inhibition of viral replication was observed in HBeAg-positive patients after acyclovir (ACV) treatment. To assess those results and to evaluate different treatment regimens, a randomized controlled trial with ACV given at 45 mg/kg/day by continuous infusion (in 5 pati
