Abstract excerpt
This study examines the relationship between HCV-RNA levels and disease severity in 60 individuals with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. HCV-RNA levels were quantified by the branched DNA (bDNA) assay in 445 samples (median: eight samples per patient) obtained over a median of 40.4 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 37.0-42.5). The median log HCV-RNA level was 6.77 (95% CI: 6.62-6.92) molecular...
