An improved reverse dot hybridization for simple and rapid detection of adefovir dipivoxil-resistant hepatitis B virus.
Early detection of adefovir dipivoxil-resistant mutants during long-term treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with this drug is of great clinical importance. We developed an improved reverse dot hybridization test for simple and rapid detection of the rtA181V/T and rtN236T mutations associated with adefovir dipivoxil resistance in chronic hepatitis B patients. Probes were...
متن کاملEvolution of entecavir-resistant hepatitis B virus during entecavir and adefovir dipivoxil combination therapy
The emergence of entecavir (ETV) resistance is rare, particularly in a longitudinal study. The aim of the present study was to characterize the evolution of ETV-resistant variants during antiviral therapy using entecavir monotherapy followed by ETV-adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) combination therapy. The study included a prospective cohort of 53 consecutive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. During t...
متن کاملSuccessful treatment with adefovir dipivoxil in a patient with fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis and lamivudine resistant hepatitis B virus.
Fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis (FCH) is a severe clinical and histological variant of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection seen most commonly in the HBV infected allograft after liver transplantation. Without treatment, FCH is fatal, rapidly and universally. Remission has been reported with lamivudine but is associated with evolving resistance to lamivudine. Adefovir dipivoxil has recently been r...
متن کاملLong-term adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy for up to 5 years in lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.
BACKGROUND Large clinical studies assessing long-term adefovir dipivoxil salvage monotherapy in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B (CHB) are lacking, particularly in patients positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). We assessed the efficacy and resistance profile of adefovir dipivoxil monotherapy for up to 5 years in a large cohort of Korean patients with lamivudine-resis...
متن کاملAdefovir dipivoxil for the treatment of hepatitis B e antigen-positive chronic hepatitis B.
BACKGROUND In preclinical and phase 2 studies, adefovir dipivoxil demonstrated potent activity against hepatitis B virus (HBV), including lamivudine-resistant strains. METHODS We randomly assigned 515 patients with chronic hepatitis B who were positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) to receive 10 mg of adefovir dipivoxil (172 patients), 30 mg of adefovir dipivoxil (173), or placebo (170) d...
