Why the study?
Does TT virus co-infection influence the effectiveness of interferon in eliminating HCV in chronic hepatitis C patients?
Does TT virus co-infection influence the effectiveness of interferon in eliminating HCV in chronic hepatitis C patients?
TT virus co-infection does not appear to impact the efficacy of interferon therapy for HCV clearance.
TT virus co-infection need not change IFN expectations in HCV; leaves open relevance with modern regimens.
Based on these results, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of IFN in eliminating HCV does not seem to be influenced by co-infection.
