Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The used first generation protease inhibitors may be hampered by virological failure in partially interferon-sensitive patients. AIM: To investigate early hepatitis C virus (HCV)-RNA decay and quasispecies modifications, and disclose viral dynamics underlying failure. METHODS: Viraemia decay at early time-points during telaprevir treatment was modelled according to Neumann et al. (1998). NS3-sequences...
