Mathematical modeling of hepatitis B virus infection for antiviral therapy using LHAM

Anti-viral therapy is comparatively very effective for patients who get affected by the hepatitis B virus. It is of prime importance to understand the different relations among the viruses, immune responses and overall health of the liver. In this paper, mathematical modeling is done to analyze and understand the effect of antiviral therapy using LHAM which describes the possible relation to HBV and target liver cells. The numerical simulations and error analysis are done up to a sixth-order approximation with the help of Matlab. This paper analyzes how the number of infected cells largely gets reduced and also how the liver damage can be controlled. Therefore, the treatment is successful for HBV infected patients.
