Abstract
The antiviral treatment combination using PEG-IFN and RIB for recurrent hepatitis C is effective procedure. The SVR of 33% after 12 months of treatment with significant improvement in HAI grading and staging and stable HAI in all treated patients favor early initiation and 12-month administration of antiviral treatment. Furthermore, all patients with BR without VR, who underwent antiviral treatment for a further 6 months, achieved a VR. However, the optimal duration of treatment needs to be investigated in large prospective studies.
