Abstract
Currently, insufficient clinical data are available to address whether low-level viremia (LLV) observed during antiviral treatment will adversely affect the clinical outcome or whether treatment strategies should be altered if LLV occurs. This study compared the clinical outcomes of patients with a maintained virological response (MVR) and patients who experienced LLV and their treatment strategies.Keywords
