Hepatitis C virus RNA and anti-N14 antibody levels during interferon alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis C.
To investigate the markers useful for evaluating the long-term efficacy of interferon (IFN) therapy, the quantity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and two anti-HCV antibody titers (anti-N14 and anti-C-100-3 antibody) in 21 chronic hepatitis C patients were determined. In all complete responders, a sustained clearance of the virus and reductions in the anti-HCV antibody titers were observed during...
متن کاملEFFICACY AND SAFETY OF COMBINATION THERAPY OF INTERFERON-ALPHA 2B PLUS RIBAVIRIN FOR CHRONIC HEPATITIS C
Introduction: The aim of this study is to assess the therapeutic efficacy and safety of a particular brand of IFN alpha (PDferon B®) in combination with ribavirin (RlBA) on Iranian patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The addition of RIBA to the standard treatment with interferon (IFN) alpha led to an improvement in sustained virologic response (SVR) from less than 20% with IFN monother...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus antibody titration in patients with chronic hepatitis C, before and after interferon treatment.
We measured hepatitis C virus antibody titers in 13 patients with chronic hepatitis C to determine whether titration of hepatitis C virus antibody was useful or not, to predict and evaluate the efficacy of interferon (IFN) treatment. During administration of IFN, hepatitis C virus titers declined in all patients. Antibody titers performed before treatment as well as just at the end of treatment...
متن کاملInterferon therapy for chronic hepatitis C.
Interferon alone is currently the treatment of choice for chronic hepatitis C. The optimal treatment regimen continues to be defined and refined by clinical studies. The variability of the response to interferon seems to be influenced by several factors, including liver histology, viral genotype, level of viraemia, number of predominant quasispecies, and perhaps the type of interferon and treat...
متن کاملSevere muscle weakness during treatment with pegylated interferon alfa for chronic hepatitis C virus infection A rare complication
Background: Interferons (IFNs) are common therapeutics for several diseases such as viral hepatitis, multiple sclerosis and malignancy. A variety of autoimmune related side effects have been observed during IFN therapy. Rare cases of myopathy, polymyositis or dermatomyositis have been reported during therapy with high doses of IFN^5. Case Presentation: In this report, we describe a case with se...
