Predictive value of complete and partial early virological response on sustained virological response rates of genotype-4 chronic hepatitis C patients treated with PEG-interferon plus ribavirin.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To investigate early viral kinetics, sustained virological response (SVR) rates and their predictors, in treatment-naïve, genotype-4-infected, chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients treated with PEG-IFNalpha2b plus ribavirin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In total, 58 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Early virological response (EVR) was defined as undetectable HCV-RNA (<50 IU/ml) at week 12 (complete,...
