Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are frequently treated with a combination of pegylated interferon (peginterferon) and ribavirin. This study compared the efficacy and safety of peginterferon alfa-2a and peginterferon alfa-2b, each in combination with ribavirin. METHODS: A total of 320 consecutive, treatment-naive, HCV RNA-positive patients with chronic hepatitis were...
