Abstract excerpt
Responses of patients infected with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) to interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) treatment were studied. HCV genotypes were determined by molecular and serologic techniques. Levels of HCV viremia were determined by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Infection with HCV genotype 2 or low pretreatment HCV viremia levels in subjects infected with genotype 1 were...
