Sustained virological response rate to pegylated interferon plus ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C in African Americans: results in treatment-naïve patients in a university liver clinic.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: The sustained virological response (SVR) to non-pegylated interferon-based regimens for chronic hepatitis-C virus (HCV) has been lower among African Americans compared to Caucasians, a finding attributed to the high proportion of genotype-1 infections in African Americans.
