## Abstract Response to lamivudine treatment longer than 1 year was compared in 15 patients persistently infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype A, 38 with genotype B, and 449 with genotype C. Patients with genotype A were younger (median age 37 [range 24β49] vs. 47 [24β67] or 44 [18β73], __

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers with normal aminotransferase levels often show histological chronic hepatitis. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of interferon (IFN) in such patients. Nineteen HCV carriers with normal aminotransferase activities and chronic hepatitis were randomized

We investigated the presence of positive (genomic) and negative (replicative intermediate) hepatitis C virus RNA strands in liver, peripheral mononuclear cells and serum from patients with chronic hepatitis C using a selective and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction procedure. Negative and po
