摘要
Hepatitis B virus infection is a global public health problem. Hepatitis B vaccines are highly effective, long acting, and safe, making prevention and even eventual eradication possible. However, treatment options for patients who are already infected are limited. The currently available drugs are effective only in selected subsets of patients and have low efficacy rates, and their long term impact on occurrence of complications remains unknown.
