Abstract excerpt
Early monitoring of HCVRNA during interferon treatment may allow clinicians to obtain important information that could help them to adopt therapeutic decisions in individual cases. The hepatitis C virus infection is highly dynamic and a daily high dose of IFN may induce a decline of viremia of 95+/-10% of baseline value after 24 to 48 hours of treatment. The importance of this early antiviral efficacy has not...
