## Abstract Sera from 30 patients with community‐acquired, biopsy‐proven chronic non‐A, non‐B hepatitis (NANBH) were tested for antibodies to the C100 protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV). The 20 patients who showed reactivity in this assay were followed prospectively for 6 months, during which time

## Abstract A quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for hepatitis C viral RNA (HCV‐RNA) was used to monitor viraemia levels in six patients at multiple time points before, during, and after interferon therapy for chronic non‐A, non‐B hepatitis (NANBH). Prior to therapy, serum HCV‐RNA w
In this randomized, controlled multicenter trial we evaluated the effects of recombinant interferon-c~2b on galactose elimination capacity and histological activity index in 88 patients with chronic active hepatitis non-A/non-B. Forty-five patients were randomly assigned to treatment with interferon
The presence of serological markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and of hepatocellular HBV DNA were investigated in 19 HBsAg-negative patients with clinically and histologically significant chronic liver disease. Four cases negative for antibodies to HBsAg (anti-HBs), to the core antigen (an
We have conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing two doses of recombinant human a-interferon for efficacy in 60 patients with chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis. The source of infection appeared to be transfusion in 30 patients, intravenous drug abuse in 16 patients and was unknown
