Long-term therapy of chronic delta hepatitis with peginterferon alfa.
BACKGROUND Chronic delta hepatitis virus (HDV) infection rapidly progresses to cirrhosis. Treatment with peginterferon for up to 2 years is often without durable response. AIM To examine the efficacy and safety of long-term peginterferon in achieving a durable response. METHODS Treatment was initiated with 180 μg/week of peginterferon alfa-2a with titration to a maximal tolerable dose, for ...
متن کاملPeginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin therapy in Kuwaiti patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Few studies have been conducted in the Eastern Mediterranean region on chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with reference to genotypes. We investigated the response to standard combination therapy (pegylated interferon/ribavirin) of different genotypes of HCV in Kuwaiti patients and factors that could be associated with sustained virological response (SVR). The records of all Kuwaiti pati...

A BSTRACT Background Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in patients with cirrhosis is difficult to treat. In patients with chronic hepatitis C but without cirrhosis, once-weekly administration of interferon modified by the attachment of a 40-kd branched-chain polyethylene glycol moiety (peginterferon alfa-2a) is more efficacious than a regimen of unmodified interferon. We examined the ef...

متن کاملLate HDV RNA relapse after peginterferon alpha-based therapy of chronic hepatitis delta.
UNLABELLED Interferon alpha is the only treatment option for hepatitis delta virus (HDV). Trials investigating the efficacy of pegylated interferon alpha (PEG-IFNa) showed HDV RNA negativity rates of 25-30% 24 weeks after therapy. However, the clinical and virological long-term outcome of HDV-infected patients treated with PEG-IFNa is unknown. We performed a retrospective-prospective follow-up ...
