摘要：
There are three licensed drugs for chronic hepatitis B at the current time: interferon alpha, and the nucleoside analogues, lamivudine and adefovir. The benefits as well as limitations of each of these agents are described in this article. Preliminary studies suggest that the combination of interferon and lamivudine is associated with an enhanced rate of virologic response when compared with either agent alone.
