RESUMO
Syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone(RTH)is a rare hereditary thyroid disease with various clinical manifestations and laboratory findings. RTH could be misdiagnosed and mistreated, resulting in aggravation of the disease. We reviewed the medical records of a patient with RTH over the past six years. In addition, we provided a summary of latest progress for RTH to help the clinicians to improve the understanding of the disease.
RESUMO
Currently, tenofovir is the first-line drug for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. This article reviews the research advances in its therapeutic effects in patients who are resistant to lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil, respond poorly to entecavir, or have multidrug resistance and introduces the results of the comparative study on the therapeutic effects of tenofovir monotherapy and combined treatment. It is pointed out that tenofovir has good safety and a good therapeutic effect in patients with drug resistance, including pregnant women; however, there are no significant differences in study results between tenofovir monotherapy and combined treatment.
