Twenty-one pretreatment variables were assessed for their significance in response prediction using data from 114 patients given a-interferon for chronic hepatitis B virus infection. In those patients who had received a minimum of 90 million units per m2 total dose over 12 weeks, a negative anti-hum

To examine the long-term effect of interferon (IFN) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, particularly on survival and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prevention, 101 male patients with chronic hepatitis B in a randomized controlled trial were followed up for 1.1 to 11.5
## Abstract InterferonβΞ± (IFNβΞ±) has been used to treat hepatitis C Virus (HCV)βinduced infection but has been effective in only about half of all patients. It is suggested that the different responses to IFNβΞ± treatment in HCV infection may be influenced by HCV genotypes, HCV RNA titer at the begi
Recent studies performed in Japan have suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) genome heterogeneity might be taken as a predictive virological parameter of response to interferon alfa (IFN-alpha) treatment. However, there is presently no information on the impact of this virological parameter in pati
A region associated with sensitivity to interferon (IFN) has been identified previously in the nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1b. A study was undertaken to determine whether the presence of mutations in the NS5A 2209-2248 sequence could serve as a predictor of re
