Predictors 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 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 کاملHepatitis C virus reinfection among prisoners with sustained virological response after treatment for chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND & AIMS We estimated HCV reinfection rate and its associated risk factors in inmates with chronic hepatitis C who had achieved sustained virological response (SVR) after completing combination therapy while in prison. METHODS Individuals who had achieved an SVR after treatment provided from January 2003 to December 2009 at four prisons in Catalonia, had been tested annually for HCV ...
متن کاملSustained virological response is associated with clearance of hepatitis C virus RNA and a decrease in hepatitis C virus antibody
BACKGROUND/AIM Viral eradication in chronic hepatitis C patients with sustained virological response (SVR) after interferon (IFN) therapy remains controversial. METHODS During a long-term follow-up study, 157 patients with SVR to IFN-alpha-2b-based therapy were investigated with a transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) assay in serum. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody was assessed by m...
متن کاملRe-infection following sustained virological response with a different hepatitis C virus genotype: implications for infection control policy
We report the case of a 45-year-old haemodialysis patient who achieved a sustained virological response (SVR) following pegylated interferon therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 infection. He was subsequently cohorted with other HCV-infected dialysis patients and became re-infected with HCV genotype 3a. Epidemiological and molecular investigations identified a highly viraemic HCV geno...
