Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA values measured with two real-time PCR methods (Cobas Ampliprep/Cobas TaqMan, CAP/CTM, and the Abbott real-time PCR test, ART) vary among patients with genotype 1. We investigated HCV RNA values measured by two real-time PCR assays during pegylated interferon plus ribavirin (PEG-IFN/RBV) therapy. We evaluated 185 cases of chronic hepatitis C patients, among which 97 patients received...
