Özet

Objective: Long-term lamivudine (LAM) and adefovir (ADV) treatment has been found to induce the emergence of drug-resistant hepatitis B virus (HBV) in a significant number of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. The aim of our study was to evaluate the LAM and ADV mutations detected in our patient group.
