Core Tip	The primary goal of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment is to eradicate hepatitis B virus (HBV) or to at least maintain suppression of HBV replication. To this end, it is essential to better understand the immunopathogenesis of CHB, although it has yet to be further elucidated. More practically, it is of great importance to choose a potent antiviral drug with a low risk of resistance for initial treatment of CHB to achieve sustained virological response. This review highlights recent advances in the understanding of the immunopathogenesis of HBV and currently available and developing treatment strategies for HBV infection.
