Hepatitis C virus RNA as detected by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction was monitored in 16 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Hepatitis C virus R N A became undetectable after 4 to 8 wk of interferon administration in 13 of the 16 patients. During 6 m

Detection and quantification of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA levels by using the standardized qualitative Amplicor™ HCV and quantitative Amplicor HCV Monitor™ assays (Roche Molecular Systems) were evaluated in 48 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Results were compared with an

The role of alcohol intake in the occurrence of severe liver disease in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers is still debated.

## Abstract Serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level has been shown to be a good predictor of subsequent response to interferon‐α (IFN) therapy in US patients in whom genotype 1a/1b are both predominant. To determine whether serum HCV RNA level is a predictor of subsequent response to IFN in Japanes
We assessed the correlation between the positivity for serum IgM antibody to hepatitis C virus and the activity of liver disease in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Serum samples were taken from 10 antibody to hepatitis C virus-positive asymptomatic patients with normal serum ALT l
