Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients were tested for the presence of HCV RNA using two qualitative assays at various time points during interferon-ribavirin therapy. Among patients treated for 48 weeks, transcription-mediated amplification and the COBAS AMPLICOR Hepatitis C Virus Test results at Week 24 predicted subsequent virologic non-response or virologic relapse in 12/15 (80%) and 8/15 (53%) patients, respectively.
在干扰素-利巴韦林治疗期间的不同时间点,使用两种定性检测方法对丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染患者进行HCV RNA检测。在接受48周治疗的患者中,转录介导扩增法和COBAS AMPLICOR丙型肝炎病毒检测法在第24周时的结果分别预测了12/15(80%)和8/15(53%)的患者随后出现病毒学无应答或病毒学复发。
