The optimal and safer interleukin-2 (IL-2) dose for treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been studied in 33 HCV-RNA positive patients with chronic hepatitis C. Patients were randomly allocated to receive 5 days per week during 12 weeks IL-2 doses of: 0.9 MIU (n = 10), 1.8 MIU (

Recombinant human interleukin 2 was administered to 10 patients with chronic type B hepatitis as a part of a pilot study to evaluate its antiviral activity. Patients received 1 to 3 x 10' units per day of interleukin 2 for 21 to 28 days, and all completed the treatment schedule. During therapy, seru
Twelve children with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis were entered in a pilot trial of recombinant interferon-alpha. Although all the children had hepatitis C virus RNA in serum, only five had antibodies against this virus. Children received 3 MU/m2 body surface area interferon-alpha 3 times/wk for 6
The nucleoside analog 2',3'-dideoxyinosine, currently being used to treat patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus, has been shown to inhibit viral replication in certain cell culture systems of hepatitis B virus and the duck model of chronic hepatitis B infection. We studied the effe
Interferon-alpha therapy is of proven efficacy in chronic hepatitis C, but it is not universally effective and may be associated with intolerable side effects. Ribavirin is a nucleoside analog with a broad spectrum of antiviral action. We conducted an uncontrolled pilot study of ribavirin therapy in
