Abstract excerpt
To evaluate the importance of the changes in viremia as an early predictor of the outcome of interferon (IFN) therapy, we assayed the levels of hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA in stored serum samples obtained from 34 patients with chronic hepatitis C who showed different biochemical responses to therapy. Serum samples obtained before the start of therapy and after 1 and 3 months were used, and viremia levels were...
