Abstract excerpt
Even with pegylated (PEG) interferons (IFN), therapy of chronic hepatitis C (genotype 1) remains unsatisfactory. The initial viral response to IFN identifies patients infected with IFN resistant viruses not responding to standard IFN/ribavirin therapy. The impact of primary IFN unresponsiveness for PEG-IFN-alpha-2a/ribavirin therapy is unknown. Viral load was measured in 22 chronic hepatitis C (genotype 1)...
