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
Long-term follow-up of patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with different doses of interferon-α2b

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
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
## Abstract An attempt was made to identify factors influencing the cumulative probability of an increased alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level and hepatocarcinogenesis in hepatitis C patients with a normal ALT level initially. A total of 398 consecutive patients with a normal ALT level initially f
## Abstract Dual infection with hepatitis B and C viruses is often encountered in endemic areas of both viruses. However, understanding of the clinical and virological implications is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of each virus in liver injury and the interaction betwee
