Abstract:
Thirty-five patients suffering from chronic viral hepatitis were treated with beta-IFN during two periods: 22 during 1991 and 13 in 1992. Patients in the first group were treated with a dose of 3 MUI beta-IFN three times a week for six months with a follow-up of 1 year; those patients treated during 1992 received the same dose but over a period of 12 months. The results confirm a satisfactory response (33%) and a good drug tolerability in patients enrolled in 1991. Those patients tho commenced treatment in 1992 will be the subject of a subsequent analysis.
