摘要: Background The clearance of hepatitis C virus infection by interferon therapy significantly reduces the incidence hepatocellular carcinoma and death in elderly chronic patients. However, there are few reports concerning efficacy safety pegylated interferon-alpha2b plus ribavirin combination The aims present study were to examine effect 427 patients with infection. We compared rates sustained virological response--defined as absence detectable serum 24 weeks after treatment ended--and discontinuation rate between 319 younger aged < 65 years 108 ≥ years. also examined factors contributing a response.
