Treatment of chronic hepatitis B Loomba R; Liang TJAntivir Ther 2007[]; 12 Suppl 3 (ä): H33-41Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the leading cause of chronic liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Approximately 350 million individuals are infected with HBV and >500,000 deaths per year can be attributed to HBV. Although universal vaccination has reduced HBV incidence in many countries, it still remains a major public health problem, especially in parts of Asia and Africa. Improved understanding of HBV virology and virus-host interactions has revolutionized chronic hepatitis B therapy in the past two decades. Development of oral nucleoside/nucleotide analogues heralds a new era of safe and effective treatment of this disease. On the basis of these advances, new guidelines for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B have been issued. Successful long-term treatment of chronic hepatitis B may rest on combination therapy that is based on molecular approaches targeting various stages of the HBV life-cycle. In this review, we summarize the current modalities and highlight important issues in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B monoinfection.|Antiviral Agents/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Biopsy[MESH]|Drug Therapy, Combination[MESH]|Hepatitis B virus/drug effects/physiology[MESH]|Hepatitis B, Chronic/*drug therapy/pathology/virology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Interferons/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Liver/pathology[MESH]|Virus Replication/drug effects[MESH] |
