Interferon-a therapy leads to HBeAg seroconversion in only one third of patients with chronic hepatitis B. In an attempt to increase the seroconversion rate, we investigated the combination of interferon-a and zidovudine in a subset of patients with presumably low response rates for interferon-a mon
Chronic hepatitis C is often a progressive liver disease for which there is no satisfactory treatment. We studied the efficacy of recombinant a-interferon or y-interferon in the treatment of this disease in comparison with a control group. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to three groups. Ten
