## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication was assessed before and during alphaβinterferon (IFN) treatment in 22 antiβHCV positive patients with posttransfusion or sporadic chronic hepatitis (CH). Eleven patients were βrespondersβ and 11 patients βnonβrespondersβ to IFN. Thirteen antiβHCV nega

Recent studies performed in Japan have suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome heterogeneity might be taken as a predictive virological parameter of response to interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) treatment. However, there is presently no information on the impact of this virological parameter in pati
## Abstract Serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level has been shown to be a good predictor of subsequent response to interferonβΞ± (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
The likelihood of a sustained response to a course of interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis C correlates with several clinical and viral factors, including age, viral genotype and initial levels of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in serum. The role of race and ethnicity has not been assessed. We
## Abstract Interferon induces remission in about 50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C, but it is difficult to predict which patients will respond. Host and viral factors were evaluated for correlation with response to interferon in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Recombinant interferon alph
