N2 - Objective: To investigate lamivudine (LAM)-resistance profiles of hepatitis B virus (HBV) at the early stages of virological breakthrough (serum HBV-DNA 12-345. IU/ml) or when HBV-DNA is undetectable. Methods: Sixty-four HBV-mono-infected patients were enrolled: 25 had virological breakthrough with serum HBV-DNA ranging from 12 to 345. IU/ml during first-line LAM-monotherapy; 24 were on LAM-monotherapy, and 15 were on LAM. +. adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) with undetectable serum HBV-DNA (
