    Background. A third of world's population has serological evidence of a past or current infection with hepatitis B virus and 350 million people have chronic infection. Chronic hepatitis B is ... associated with liver cirrhosis and hepatic cancer, i. e. the diseases that cause death in over a half million people yearly. It is estimated that there are approximately 20, 000 chronic hepatitis B virus carriers living in Slovenia. In our hospital, experimental use of interferon a for the treatment ofpatients with hepatitis B was started already in 1988, while the routine treatment with interferon a has been practised for ten years and with lamivudine for five years. Methods. A retrospective study carried out at the Department of Infectious Diseases and Febrile Conditions of the General Hospital Ce je was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of a protocol-based treatment in 35 patients (21 males and 14 females, mean age 41 years) with chronic hepatitis B (11 HBeAg positive) in the period 1994-2004 receiving inter feron a and/or lamivudine and since 2003 also pegylated interferon a and adefovir.
