Is add-on adefovir superior to a switch to entecavir as rescue therapy for Lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B?
Add-on ADV was more effective and durable than ETV as rescue therapy. Therefore, add-on ADV might be the preferred strategy for LAM-resistant patients who need long-term antiviral treatment.
Inflammatory cysts were induced by initiating acute inflammatory foci (abscess/necrotic area) by bacterial injection that got enclosed by a proliferating epithelium. This finding provides strong experimental evidence in support of the "abscess theory" of development of radicular cysts.
