Early predictability of virological response in patients of chronic hepatitis-C with genotype-3, treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin.
BACKGROUND This study was conducted to assess the early predictability of virological response in chronic hepatitis-C patients (Genotype-3), treated with pegylated interferon alpha-2a and ribavirin with an objective of determining predictive values of Rapid Virological Response (RVR) and Early Virological Response (ETR) on Sustained Virological Response (SVR). METHOD This cross sectional stud...
متن کاملHepatitis C reinfection after sustained virological response.
BACKGROUND & AIMS On-going risk behaviour can lead to hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection following successful treatment. We aimed to assess the incidence of persistent HCV reinfection in a population of people who inject drugs (PWID) who had achieved sustained virological response (SVR) seven years earlier. METHODS In 2004-2006 we conducted a multicentre treatment trial comprising HCV genoty...
متن کاملPredictors of sustained virological response in patients with hepatitis C virus genotype 3 infection
AIM OF THE STUDY To assess predictors of sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 3 treated with standard therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively investigated data of 116 consecutive treatment-naïve patients chronically infected with HCV genotype 3, treated with pegylated interferon alpha (PegIFNα) and ribavirin (RBV) for 24 weeks...
متن کاملLong term clinical outcome of chronic hepatitis C patients with sustained virological response to interferon monotherapy.
BACKGROUND The key end point for treatment efficacy in chronic hepatitis C is absence of detectable virus at six months after treatment. However, the incidence of clinical events during long term follow up of patients with sustained virological response is still poorly documented and may differ between the Eastern and Western world. AIMS To assess clinical end points during long term follow u...
متن کاملDurability of a sustained virological response in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with pegylated interferon alfa and ribavirin
BACKGROUND/AIMS The reappearance rates of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA after a sustained virological response (SVR) have been reported to be 1-2%. We investigated the reappearance rate of HCV RNA after SVR in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients treated with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin. METHODS In total, 292 CHC patients who achieved an SVR after PEG-IFN and ribavirin treatment ...
