The currently recommended treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is pegylated interferon alfa (PEG-INF) and ribavirin, which can be difficult to tolerate. More information about predicting sustained virologic response (SVR) may allow more informed treatment decisions to be made. This retros

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) particles can be classified into two major fractions according to their floating density in serum. However, the genomic heterogeneity of each fraction and the relationship between this viral characteristic and interferon (IFN) response in patients with chronic hepatitis are n
Factors associated with sustained virological response (SVR) in patients treated for hepatitis C virus (HCV) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) are unclear. Ninety-nine HCV-positive/hepatitis B surface antigen-negative patients received antiviral treatment (AVT) with interferon/peginterfero
## Abstract Serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA level has been shown to be a good predictor of subsequent response to interferonβΞ± (IFN) therapy in US patients in whom genotype 1a/1b are both predominant. To determine whether serum HCV RNA level is a predictor of subsequent response to IFN in Japanes
