Seventy patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection received alpha interferon at doses ranging from 3 to 10 million units (MU) daily for eight weeks, three times weekly for 12-24 weeks, or daily and three times weekly for 12-24 weeks. The efficacy of interferon was closely related to the initial blood HCV-RNA values in that these were lower in those who responded completely and partially compared with non-responders. Continuous reductions in HCV-RNA and improvements in the histology activity index score were seen in those who responded completely. In contrast, most of the partial and non-responders remained HCV-RNA positive.
70例丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染者接受了α干扰素治疗,剂量为每日300万至1000万单位(MU),持续8周,或每周3次,持续12 - 24周,或每日及每周3次,持续12 - 24周。干扰素的疗效与初始血液HCV - RNA值密切相关,完全和部分应答者的该值低于无应答者。完全应答者的HCV - RNA持续降低,组织学活动指数评分有所改善。相比之下,大多数部分应答者和无应答者的HCV - RNA仍为阳性。
