متن کاملEffect of Hepatitis B Virus Genotypes on the Efficacy of Adefovir Dipivoxil Antiviral Therapy
BACKGROUND Hepatitis B is a common infectious disease in China. Many studies have shown that the genotype of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is probably associated with the efficacy of some antiviral drugs such as interferon α (IFN-α) and Lamivudine (LAM). However, the association between HBV genotype and adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) is controversial. ADV is the most popular antiviral drug in China due to ...
