Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-genotype 1b and a high virus load, of more than 1 Meq/ml by the DNA probe assay, the clearance of HCV-RNA was achieved in only 10% with a 6-month interferon (IFN) course. We therefore assessed the efficacy of prolonged IFN therapy in patients with HCV-genotype 1b and a high virus load. METHODS: A total of 51 patients with HCV genotype 1b who were given 6...
