| Core Tip |
Chronic hepatitis B is a major global health issue, largely driven by mother-to-child transmission. Spontaneous hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance occurs at about 1% per year. Emerging evidence suggests that starting antiviral therapy at a young age might lead to higher functional cure rates. This review examines evidence and implications of early treatment. |
