## Abstract Response to ribavirin therapy (1,000β1,200 mg/day for 6 months) was evaluated in nine patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections who had previously failed to respond to a 6βmonth course of alphaβinterferon. All had chronic active hepatitis with elevated serum aminotransfer

Hepatic steatosis has been reported as one of the characteristics which discriminates hepatitis C from other forms of hepatitis, besides lymphoid follicles and bile duct damage. However, it is unclear whether or not the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) itself is associated with the development of
Replication of duck hepatitis B virus in extrahepatic tissue such as pancreas, kidney and spleen has been well documented. To assess whether there is more widespread extrahepatic virus replication, we assayed brain, heart, lung, thymus, pancreas, kidney, spleen and intestine of 1-to 16-wk-old duckli
The therapeutic effect of interferon-alpha and ribavirin in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C viral infection is limited. To identify patient characteristics that may predict responsiveness to treatment, the intrahepatic protein expression of two directly induced IFN-alpha effector proteins, MxA
