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
