## Abstract The safety and efficacy of pegylated interferon (PEGβIFN) alfaβ2a and ribavirin were studied among patients treated for genotype 4 chronic hepatitis C. Ninetyβfive patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 were treated with PEGβIFN alfaβ2a (180βΒ΅g/week) plus ribavirin (β₯11βmg/kg/day)
In patients chronically infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 4, the optimum duration of therapy and the predictors of sustained virologic response (SVR) have not been adequately determined. In this study, 358 patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 4 were randomly assigned to pegylated
