Download Program

Course Coordinator
Gülsen Özkaya Sahin, Lund, Sweden
William Irving, Nottingham, UK
Snjezana Zidovec Lepej, Zagreb, Croatia

Course Objective

Chronic HBV infection is a global public health burden estimated to impact nearly 300 million persons worldwide. Although effective vaccines are available to prevent new HBV infection, treatment of existing chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is limited, as the current standardof-care antiviral drugs can only suppress viral replication without achieving cure. This course aims to update participants concerning different therapeutic strategies and current technologies for HBV cure. The course will also cover management of hepatitis D and effect of COVID-19 on management of HBV-infection. In order to
stimulate scientific communication and collaboration between the speakers and the audience, two roundtables have also been included in the program.
