| WA patients are among the first in the world to get access to a potential cure for hepatitis B using a cocktail of antiviral and anti-cancer drugs.
The promising treatment is being used in patients in Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide after preclinical trials in hundreds of mice showed the drug combination was 100 per cent effective in curing the viral infection.
Hepatitis B is a serious liver infection that spreads mainly by sexual contact and while a vaccine can stop it, once contracted the infection is incurable and can last a lifetime.
