The sustained virologic response of nonresponder hepatitis C virus patients with retreatment

Hepatitis C Virus Late Relapse after Sustained Virologic Response

24 Hepatitis C (HCV) viremia is unusual (<5%) after successful treatment, defined as sustained 25 virologic response (SVR) or undetectable HCV PCR 12-24 weeks after therapy. We present a 26 case of late virologic relapse (de novo infection excluded by RNA sequencing) after SVR 27 followed by spontaneous viral clearance. 28

Risk Factors for Hepatitis C Virus Reinfection After Sustained Virologic Response in Patients Coinfected With HIV

Background Highly effective hepatitis C virus (HCV) therapies have spurred a scale-up of treatment to populations at greater risk of reinfection after sustained virologic response (SVR). Reinfection may be higher in HIV-HCV coinfection, but prior studies have considered small selected populations. We assessed risk factors for reinfection after SVR in a representative cohort of Canadian coinfect...

The Correlation of Il28B Genotype With Sustained Virologic Response In Romanian patients With Chronic Hepatitis C

BACKGROUND Multiple variables influencing the sustained virologic response (SVR) in chronic hepatitis C have been evaluated. One of them is genetic polymorphism near the IL28B gene. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of IL28B genotypes on SVR rates in a group of patients with chronic hepatitis C from the western part of Romania. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospecti...

Durability of Sustained Virologic Response in Chronic Hepatitis C

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study is to investigate the rate of sustained virologic response (SVR) in chronic hepatitis C patients receiving antiviral treatment. METHODS The files of patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with interferon±ribavirin between 1995 and 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. Six months after the end of treatment, patients with negative hepatitis C virus (HCV)-R...
