## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a positive stranded RNA virus, is the main causative agent of post‐transfusion and sporadic non‐A non‐B hepatitis worldwide. Paired samples of plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 11 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with α‐interfero

Since the natural history of hepatitis C virusassociated liver disease and the therapeutic responsiveness might vary according to liver and blood mononuclear cells viral levels, it may be important to quantitate viral RNA in liver, blood mononuclear cells and serum, and to compare these data with ge

We conducted a three-arm, randomized trial in 96 patients with chronic hepatitis C who did not respond to interferon alfa to compare treatments. Group 1 (33 patients) received ribavirin alone (1,000 mg/daily for 6 months) followed by interferon alfa n-3 alone (3 MU thrice weekly for 6 months); group
In patients with chronic hepatitis C, the influence of the genetic heterogeneity of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the progression of liver disease and on the responsiveness to interferon therapy is a matter of controversy. In this study we evaluated the genetic complexity of HCV by singlestrand con
