This pilot study was designed to establish the effect of long term alpha interferon treatment in haemophilia patients with chronic hepatitis C. Overall, three of eight (37.5%) patients showed a complete response, three of eight (37.5%) a transient response, and two of eight (25.0%) no response. HCV-RNA detection by polymerase chain reaction was more sensitive in detecting relapse than alanine amino-transferase (ALT) activity measurement, suggesting that current interferon schedules based on the ALT response should be re-evaluated critically.
本初步研究旨在确定长期使用α干扰素治疗丙型肝炎血友病患者的效果。总体而言,8名患者中有3名(37.5%)显示完全缓解,8名中有3名(37.5%)短暂缓解,8名中有2名(25.0%)无缓解。通过聚合酶链反应检测HCV-RNA在检测复发方面比测量丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)活性更敏感,这表明基于ALT反应的当前干扰素治疗方案应受到严格重新评估。
