Combination antiretroviral studies for patients with primary biliary cirrhosis

Figure 3 Viral and biochemical rebound in a patient with primary biliary cirrhosis treated with antiviral therapy. Partial biochemical response was observed after starting lamivudine treatment by 3 mo that relapsed. With the commencement of Combivir^TM therapy, the patient normalized alkaline phosphatase from months 6 and 9 with a concomitant loss of viremia, which then rebounded with increased alkaline phosphatase levels and recurrent viremia.
