Abstract excerpt

Early interferon (IFN) therapy prevents viral persistence in acute hepatitis C, but in view of the resulting costs and morbidity patients who really need therapy have to be identified. Twelve consecutive patients with acute hepatitis C (9 women, 3 men, mean age: 39.5 +/- 18.8 y, genotype 1: 7, genotype 3a: 3, 2 could not be genotyped) were studied. The sources of infection were medical procedures in 6, sexual...
