Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIM: There are few studies investigating the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in current and former drug users. With this in mind, we sought to evaluate the antiviral efficacy of interferon alpha-2b (IFN alpha-2b) or pegylated-interferon alpha-2b (PEG-IFN alpha-2b) and ribavirin (RBV) in injection drug users (IDU) enrolled in a directly observed therapy (DOT) program, as measured by...
