We studied the long-term outcomes of 43 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with one or two interferon cycles, in relation to hepatitis C virus RNA in serum and peripheral-blood mononuclear cells. After the first interferon cycle, 15 (35%) patients had normal transaminase levels, although only
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.
