Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) virus load is one of the most important predictive factors for the outcome of interferon (IFN) therapy. Recent technological advances have allowed a more precise measurement of HCV load. However, the exact cutoff values that could be used to predict the outcome of IFN have not been established for each assay. Five recent quantitative assays were evaluated for the measurement of HCV...
