Abstract

The article focuses on new therapies for hepatitis infection. Current therapies for hepatitis B virus including lamivudine, tenofovir and adefovir are said to be more advanced than those for hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, new classes of molecules promise to improve outcome for HCV by providing complete viral eradication with a reduced treatment duration from 1 year to 3 months.
