## Abstract Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is classified into six genotypes. Genotype 4 is now spreading in Europe, especially among drug users, who are often infected with both HCV and the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Previous studies have shown that HCV‐4 responds poorly to interferon. Pegylated

## Abstract Little is known about hepatitis C virus (HCV) breakthrough during antiviral therapy, although it would help in understanding HCV resistance to current antiviral treatments. To analyse the implication of virological factors and the vigour of humoral immune responses in this phenomenon, w
## Abstract A clinical study was carried out to compare the response rate of two groups of non‐responder (NR) hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 chronically infected patients treated with interferon and ribavirin, with or without amantadine. The viral load decreased more markedly in the group treat
## Abstract The use of quantitative assays for hepatitis C virus specific antibodies (anti‐HCV) as a prognostic marker was evaluated in 31 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon (IFN). Changes in titers of serum HCV‐RNA and anti‐HCV antibodies; anti‐C11 (anti‐core), anti‐C100 (an
To clarify the virological differences in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with and without liver damage, we assessed HCV markers in 306 patients from a rural area of Japan. Genotypes of HCV RNA were determined by polymerase chain reaction, and levels of RNA were determined by
