Suboptimal Response to Tenofovir Alafenamide in Two Patients With HBeAg-Positive Hepatitis B: A Case Report

Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) is one of the most potent first-line nucleot(s)ide analogs for treating chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. To date, no cases of TAF drug resistance and/or suboptimal response have been reported. To our knowledge, this is the first report of two adult male patient...
