A Histology Activity Index has been developed which generates a numerical score for liver biopsy specimens obtained from patients with asymptomatic chronic active hepatitis. Biopsies are graded in four categories: periportal necrosis, intralobular necrosis, portal inflammation, and fibrosis. Under c

## Abstract The prevalence of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti‐HCV) was determined in 105 patients with biopsy‐proven chronic liver disease and 128 comparison patients without any evidence of liver pathology living in Lima, Peru. Using a second‐generation EIA screening and supplemental immunob
## Abstract Zone electrophoresis on agarose gel was performed in serum samples from patients with chronic viral hepatitis. On the basis of the clinical, serological, and biochemical evaluation, the patients were divided into three categories: chronic type B hepatitis; chronic type delta hepatitis;
To determine the clinical significance of viral quasispecies heterogeneity, 59 patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied using singlestranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the HCV E2 hypervariable region 1 (HVRI); of these, 48 were subsequently treated with interferon-a. The SS
## Abstract Little is known about hepatitis C virus (HCV) breakthrough during antiviral therapy, although it would help in understanding HCV resistance to current antiviral treatments. To analyse the implication of virological factors and the vigour of humoral immune responses in this phenomenon, w
