Interferon-Free Treatments for Chronic Hepatitis C Genotype 1 Infection
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects as many as 185 million people globally, many of whom are chronically infected and progress over time to cirrhosis, decompensated liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma, and eventually death without a liver transplant. In the United States, HCV genotype 1 constitutes about 75% of all infections. While interferon and ribavirin therapy was the cornerstone...
متن کاملEvaluation of two rapid screening assays for detecting hepatitis C antibodies in resource-constrained settings.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the OraQuick HCV rapid antibody test from OraSure and the Multisure HCV antibody assay from MP Biomedicals. METHODS Five seropanels from patients, intravenous drug users and blood donors with and without HCV infection were used on the two rapid immunochromatographic tests. Sensitivity, specificity and predictive values were calculated. In addit...
متن کاملCost-effective treatment of genotype-3 chronic hepatitis C.
The authors have stated that pegylated (peg)-interferon therapy is cost-effective as compared to conventional interferon therapy. Clinical studies including this one show that the conventional interferon therapy is quite effective and efficacious for the treatment of genotype-3 chronic hepatitis C patients and the side effects are nearly the same with both treatments. The number of patients tre...
متن کاملOpportunities and options for treatment research in resource-constrained settings.
HIV clinical research faces limitations even in research-rich settings. Even though important questions remain unanswered, clinical trials will probably never be conducted that address, prospectively, when treatment is optimally indicated, for example. In resource-constrained settings, large, prospective clinical trials are also unlikely. On the other hand, ones with a more observational design...
