| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our research group conducted clinical and socioepidemiological survey of the anti-viral therapy for the patients with chronic hepatitis B and C in five developing countries in Asia and Africa. The outcome of the nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection were reported from Vietnam and Nepal, and that of pegylated interferon therapy was from Thailand, where several issues such as inability to measure NUCs-resistant HBV as well as serum HBsAg and HBcrAg concentrations, together with insufficient adherence to NUCs, were demonstrated in those countries. As for the interferon-free directly-acting antivirals for chronic hepatitis C, satisfactory sustained virologic response rates were confirmed in Vietnam and Egypt. However, we also found the facts that virologic monitoring systems were not always available in these countries and the patients were far from the standardized medical treatments.
