研究者发现,丙型肝炎（HC）感染早期给予大剂量α_(2b)干扰素（IFN-α_(2b)）可大大提高治疗效果。IFN是治疗HC的标准药物,但有效率仅为11％～30％。以色列Bar- Ilan大学及美国伊利诺斯大学的研究者通过仔细研究病毒负荷对治疗的反应来寻找提高疗效的方法。
The researchers found that early treatment of hepatitis C (HC) infection with a large dose of interferon alfa-2b (IFN-α_ (2b)) can greatly improve the therapeutic effect. IFN is the standard drug for the treatment of HC, but the effective rate is only 11% to 30%. Researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, look for ways to improve their response by carefully studying how the viral load responds to treatment.
