CCO Independent Conference Coverage of the 42nd Annual Meeting of the

European Association for the Study of the Liver*

April 11-15, 2007 | Barcelona, Spain

Dear colleague,

While in Barcelona for the European Association for the Study of the Liver

meeting, I had an opportunity to meet with M. Di Bisceglie, MD, FACP,

and Shouval, MD, to discuss the latest clinical findings in hepatitis

B virus (HBV) treatment. You may now review this discussion as a

CME-certified activity on the Clinical Care Options Web site.

Topics include:

- Natural history of untreated e antigen–positive chronic HBV infection

- Presence of histologic damage in HBV-infected patients with ALT < 2 x

upper limit of normal

- Initial and long-term therapies for the treatment of chronic HBV

infection

- Management strategies for patients with HBV treatment–related resistance

- Transient elastography for the detection of fibrosis in chronically

infected HBV patients

I hope you take advantage of the opportunity to review these important data.
