Pegylated interferon-alpha for the treatment of sexually transmitted acute hepatitis C in HIV-infected individuals.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Sexually transmitted acute hepatitis C among HIV-positive homosexual men has been noted as an emerging epidemic. METHODS:Forty-seven patients with mainly sexually acquired, acute hepatitis C were enrolled in this prospective, multicentre trial, and 36 of these patients were treated within the acute phase of hepatitis C infection with pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) therapy. RESULTS:Early treatment resulted in sustained virological response in 61% of patients. Peg-IFN alone showed similar treatment response rates and lower incidence of anaemia compared with peg-IFN+ribavirin combination therapy. Higher treatment response rates were observed in patients treated over 48 weeks compared with 24 weeks. CONCLUSIONS:Treatment of hepatitis C in HIV-positive individuals in the acute phase of infection leads to high rates of sustained virological response. Optimal time and mode of therapy have yet to be defined.
