Prospective cohort study on the efficacy and safety of telbivudine used throughout pregnancy in blocking mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus.

abstract：:Several direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have been approved for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, opening the door to highly effective interferon-free treatment regimens. Resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) have been reported both in treatment-naïve patients and following treatment wit...
