Several genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been recently identified by phylogenetic analysis, but their clinical relevance in the liver transplant setting is unknown. We evaluated the incidence and course of recurrent hepatitis C after transplantation in 50 patients who underwent transplantat

Improved understanding of hepatitis C virus (HCV) dynamics during and after liver transplantation can be useful in optimizing antiviral therapy in transplant recipients. We analyzed serum HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) levels during and after cadaveric liver transplantation in 6 HCV patients. After remo
with treatment failures moving on to combination therapy (IFN/CMB). The primary difference between the two best strategies (IFN/CBM vs. CMB-G) was that the CMB-G strategy was more successful with those with genotype 1. Thus, the genotyping strategy reached more people with less responsive disease th
