Abstract excerpt

Sera from 39 out of 40 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection who had been treated for 60 weeks with interferon alfa-2b proved initially HCV RNA positive by reversed transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These patients were analysed for genotype and quantitatively for HCV RNA levels prior to treatment by using a competitive PCR method with colorimetric detection of the amplified...
