The optimal duration of therapy for pegylated interferon combined with ribavirin in recurrent Hepatitis C virus (HCV) following liver transplantation is not known. We wanted to determine if testing for HCV in liver tissue by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was superior in pr

## Abstract The efficacy of interferon (IFN) monotherapy for non‐responders to pegylated interferon (PEG‐IFN) plus ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy is still unclear. To evaluate the impact of IFN monotherapy on biochemical response, 200 consecutive patients infected with HCV genotype 1b, who rec
## Abstract An investigation was carried out to determine whether early viral monitoring could predict efficiently the virological response to combination therapy of two different regimens in treatment‐naïve chronic hepatitis C patients infected with genotype 1b with high baseline viral load. Patie
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1a is rare in Japanese patients and the clinical characteristics of this genotype remain unclear. The interferon (IFN) sensitivity‐determining region (ISDR) and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin‐28B (IL28B) among patients with HCV gen
