Abstract excerpt
Spontaneously occurring resistance may impair the success of protease inhibitors based regimens in HCV treatment. This study aimed to evaluate associations between amino acid substitutions in NS3/NS4A domain and clinical features of 247 HCV mono or HCV/HIV co-infected patients. Fourteen samples (5.7%) harbored at least one resistance-associated substitution (RAS). The following RASs were detected in NS3 region:...
