Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether in chronic hepatitis C-positive patients who failed to respond to interferon (IFN) monotherapy a sustained response obtained with retreatment using the combination therapy of IFN + ribavirin can be safely considered to reflect eradication of the infection. METHODS: Prospective follow-up of a cohort of 97 patients who responded to retreatment with different regimens of IFN +...
