Abstract
Information on the rate and timing of hepatitis C virus (HCV) relapse after treatment with pegylated interferon plus ribavirin is scarce. Among 604 patients treated for chronic hepatitis C, the 386 who were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive attained an end-of-treatment response less frequently and experienced relapse more often than did the 218 who were HIV negative. However, episodes of HCV relapse occurred before week 12 in most cases, regardless of HIV status.Keywords
