Abstract

Objective: In order to deeply understand the effects of nucleoside analogues to HBV DNA polymerase area, which initiate a state of drug resistance due to HBV genome mutation.

Methods: Using PCR product direct sequencing method to test the gene sequence of P area of HBV genome of the patients who taking nucleoside analogues and showing signs of virologic breakthrough.

Results: More resistance mutations can be find in HBV DNA polymerase area, which causing clinically cross drug resistance and multiple resistance.

Conclusion: We should choose higher genetic barrier for the initial treatment. And the patients long-term using of nucleoside analogues, should be regularly monitored serum HBV DNA level, in order for early detection of virological breakthrough and timely intervention.
