Successful Treatment with Peginterferon and Ribavirin in a Patient with Acute Hepatitis C Evolving into Chronicity

以常效型干擾素合併雷巴威林成功治療一例急性C型肝炎

並列摘要


Acute hepatitis C has a high frequency of chronic evolution, which may progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, only a small proportion of acute hepatitis C patients are incidentally identified and then treated. Controversial issues regarding treatment of acute hepatitis C include optimal time of treatment initiation, best treatment regimen and appropriate duration of treatment. We report a symptomatic acute hepatitis C patient in the late acute phase evolving into chronicity successfully treated by peginterferon and ribavirin combination therapy for 6 months at late acute phase, with sustained virologic response for up to 18 months. Our findings indicate that combination peginterferon and ribavirin therapy may be as effective in treating acute hepatitis C as it is in chronic hepatitis C.
