The immunologic and virological processes that play a role in the development of chronicity or progression, furthermore, factors influencing the therapeutic responses are discussed in details. Until now various antiviral and immunomodulatory agents were administered in chronic type B hepatitis, recently the most promising results were reported using recombinant interferons.
