Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-resistant mutations in serum HBV DNA and serum HBV RNA

Serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) RNA is a new serological indicator reflecting viral replication with good clinical application prospects. This study aimed to clarify the dynamic changes of serum HBV RNA levels and the quasispecies of HBV RNA virus-like particles in nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs)-experienced chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients harboring NAs-resistant mutations and their identifiable effects on NAs resistance.
