## Abstract Studies were undertaken to investigate whether interferon therapy could induce hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriage with normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values using an assay that combined reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. The subjects studied were 53 patients

Whether sustained biochemical response and absence of serum HCV RNA in the 6-12 months following suspension of interferon-β£ (IFN-β£) therapy reflect definitive viral clearance in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is controversial. To obtain more information on this topic, HCV RN
Combination treatment with pegylated-interferon-alpha (PEG IFN-β£) and ribavirin, the current recommended therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, results in a sustained virological response (SVR) in only about half of patients. Because genes involved in the interferon-alpha pathway may
To evaluate the efficacy of a 12-month course of recombinant interferon alpha (IFN-β£2b), and to assess predictive factors of successful response to IFN therapy in chronic active hepatitis C (HCV CAH), 242 patients with histologically proven HCV CAH were assigned randomly to two groups, one treated w
