Abstract excerpt
We assessed differences in the pattern of HCV RNA decrease for HCV genotypes 1, 2, and 3 during interferon treatment to determine if the lower response rates observed among genotype 1 patients were related to a slower decrease in HCV clearance. Serum HCV RNA values of 472 chronic hepatitis C patients treated with either consensus interferon (CIFN) or interferon alfa-2b (IFN alfa-2b) were evaluated. Neither...
