Hepatitis C virus RNA as detected by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction was monitored in 16 patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon. Hepatitis C virus R N A became undetectable after 4 to 8 wk of interferon administration in 13 of the 16 patients. During 6 m

We tested serial serum samples for hepatitis C virus RNA from patients undergoing treatment for chronic hepatitis C with interferon-a using an assay that combined reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. The subjects studied were 20 patients with chronic hepatitis who had serum antibody
## Abstract Studies were undertaken to investigate whether interferon therapy could induce hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriage with normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values using an assay that combined reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction. The subjects studied were 53 patients
