Presence of HCV RNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells may predict patients' response to interferon and ribavirin therapy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is considered a hepatotropic virus, but it can replicate in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which influence the sustained virological response (SVR) of the patients, as well as relapse in successfully treated patients. The main objective...
