Abstract:
12 months, baseline serum HBV DNA ≥104copies/ml) were prospectively followed. Virological and serologic responses and laboratory data of liver and renal function of each patient enrolled were monitored every three months. Entecavir resistant mutations were detected by direct sequencing of HBV reverse transcriptase region which was amplified by semi-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Results Of the 41 lamivudine refractory CHB patients who met the inclusion criteria, 16 patients (39%) achieved the point of undetectability in HBV DNA level (
