## Abstract The safety and efficacy of pegylated interferon (PEGβIFN) alfaβ2a and ribavirin were studied among patients treated for genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C. Ninetyβfive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 were treated with PEGβIFN alfaβ2a (180βΒ΅g/week) plus ribavirin (β₯11βmg/kg/day)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype is an important criteria in determining duration of therapy and predictor of sustained virologic response (SVR) to pegylated interferon (PEG IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) therapy. Optimal duration of therapy for patients with HCV genotype 6 is not known. We conducted a mu
accurate representation of the data is given in Table 1. 7. The major conclusion of this paper was that monitoring hepatitis C virus RNA levels and varying the duration of therapy can save resources without sacrificing rates of SVR. The authors used the Blackwelder test to test the noninferiority of
