Abstract:
Many questions are unanswered on the optimal management of chronically HBV-infected children. Chronic hepatitis B is generally a mild disease in children; however, response to therapy is partial and limited to specific subgroups, and available drugs have no proven advantage on long-term course of disease versus no treatment, and are hampered by numerous limitations. Studies on the natural history of chronic hepatitis B and the long-term results of the therapeutic schedules adopted so far should be critically appraised. A balance between the potential benefits of the treatment and its side effects, and the spontaneous course of the disease left untreated should be made.
