Abstract
|
|
|
|
| In 70 chronic hepatitis B patients with hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance during nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy, response was sustained in all 54 patients who discontinued treatment. Clinically significant relapses as indicated by high hepatitis B virus DNA and ALT levels were not observed. Anti-HBs positivity may not be required to ensure sustained off-treatment response. |
