It is unclear whether the current antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection results in complete elimination of the virus, or whether small quantities of virus persist. Our study group comprised 17 patients with chronic HCV who had sustained virological response (SVR) after in
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 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
