| Research Abstract |
Seven children infected by hepatitis C virus were treated with PEG-IFNα-2a at a dose of 90-180μg/kg s. c., once a week for 24-48 weeks. Six patients completed the treatment. One patient discontinued the treatment at 12 weeks. RVR was achieved in 2(29%) of the 7 patients. EVR was achieved in 7(100%) of the 7 patients. SVR was achieved in 6(86%) of the 7 patients. We isolated HCV-RNA from the sera of 7 children and analyzed the NS5b region. The nucleotide sequences in the NS5b region of HCV obtained from each of the children under treatment were identical to those of before treatment.
