## 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
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
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
