To investigate the association of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype and HBeAg seroconversion after nucleotide analogue treatment.
Chronic hepatitis B patients receiving lamivudine followed up for at least 6 months post-treatment were studied. Consecutive treatment-naïve patients who were prospectively followed up in the clinic for at least 18 months were studied as controls. HBeAg seroconversion was defined as loss of HBeAg, appearance of anti-HBe and normalization of alanine aminotransferase for at least 6 months.
Thirty-five patients on lamivudine and 96 control patients followed up for 39 (18-49) months were studied. Lamivudine was given for 12 (10-18) months, and patients were followed up for 15 (6-34) months after drug cessation. Genotype B and C HBV were found in 43 and 88 patients and HBeAg seroconversion occurred in 12 (28%) and 16 (18%) patients, respectively (P=0.30). There was no difference in HBeAg seroconversion between patients infected by genotype B and C HBV in the control (35% vs 21%, P=0.25) and lamivudine-treated (14% vs 10%, P=1.00) groups.
HBeAg seroconversion after treatment by lamivudine was not influenced by the HBV genotype.
研究核苷酸类似物治疗后乙肝病毒(HBV)基因型与HBeAg血清学转换的相关性。
对接受拉米夫定治疗且治疗后随访至少6个月的慢性乙型肝炎患者进行研究。将在门诊前瞻性随访至少18个月的初治患者作为对照。HBeAg血清学转换定义为HBeAg消失、抗-HBe出现且丙氨酸转氨酶正常化至少6个月。
对35例接受拉米夫定治疗的患者和96例对照患者进行了为期39(18 - 49)个月的随访研究。拉米夫定治疗时间为12(10 - 18)个月,停药后患者随访15(6 - 34)个月。43例和88例患者分别检测到B型和C型HBV,HBeAg血清学转换分别发生在12例(28%)和16例(18%)患者中(P = 0.30)。在对照组(35%对21%,P = 0.25)和拉米夫定治疗组(14%对10%,P = 1.00)中,感染B型和C型HBV的患者之间HBeAg血清学转换无差异。
拉米夫定治疗后的HBeAg血清学转换不受HBV基因型的影响。
