## Abstract The interferon sensitivityโdetermining region (ISDR) is thought to be inhibited by the doubleโstranded RNAโdependent protein kinase (PKR). Several studies have reported a relationship between the ISDR and interferon (IFN) responsiveness. However, this relationship is controversial. The
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
## Abstract The efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon monotherapy in patients with chronic renal failure and chronic hepatitis C remains unclear, although a number of small clinical trials have been published addressing this issue. A systematic review of the literature with a metaโanalysis of
## Abstract Lung toxicity related to interferon (IFN) alpha typically takes a form of interstitial pneumonitis, granulomatous inflammation, or organizing pneumonia. We report a case of a 52โyearโold woman, who developed pneumonitis with exudative, lymphocyticโpredominant pleural effusion following
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections are known to run a self-limiting course. Recently, chronic hepatitis E has been described in immunosuppressed patients after solid-organ transplantation. Besides the general recommendation to lower the immunosuppressive medication in these patients, there is curren
