We reanalyzed the results of a pilot study of recombinant alpha-interferon therapy for chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis in light of the recent discovery of the hepatitis C virus and the development of diagnostic assays for this agent. Stored serum samples from 10 patients treated between 1984 and 1986

The long-term outcome of treatment with Interferon Alpha 2B with and without Prednisolone priming in children infected perinatally with hepatitis B was reviewed. The group studied included 48 children (aged 2-16 years), who were HBe antigen and hepatitis B DNA positive between 1991 and 1993. Twenty
Twenty-eight patients with chronic active hepatitis without cirrhosis who were positive for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody to hepatitis B e antigen were followed for 1 to 15 years (mean 6.6 years) and underwent follow-up biopsy. At presentation, 12 of the 28 patients (43%) had hepatitis B
We have previously demonstrated that combination peginterferon and lamivudine treatment has superior antiviral efficacy to lamivudine monotherapy in chronic hepatitis B. In this study, we investigated the long-term posttreatment virological response to this combination treatment. Sustained virologic
## Abstract One hundred twentyβtwo hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier infants were followedβup for 8β10 years. One hundred eleven had antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (antiβHBc; 83 had been vaccinated) and the remaining 11 were without antiβHBc (7 had been vaccinated). During the follo
