Peginterferon alpha-2b injection is given subcutaneously at a dosage of 180μg/w for 48 consecutive weeks. Patients will stop the treatment whenever HBsAg is eliminated, and those without HBsAg elimination after 48 dosages will enter the group of best treatment. The patients will be followed up for another 24 weeks after treatment.
