New Drugs to cure Hep B?

[AJK]

@availlant

Transaminase flares that occur during acute HBV or with HBV reactivation are almost always associated with decline in liver function. This is likely due to the spread of viral infection to healthy cells, removing their ability to contribute to normal liver function and the associated immune mediated inflammation of the liver which can also kill healthy hepatocytes.

Do you mean to say flare in acute infection is bad? Doesn’t this indicate T cell response killing infected cells ? If not so how do acute HepB recover!!

And I have been reading about nomenclature associated with HepB cure like Functional, sterilizing cure etc. What do we name it when a person recovers from acute infection?
