الملخص
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.
