  • Title: Chronic viral hepatitis: diagnosis and management.
    Author: Maddrey WC.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (Off Ed); 1994 Feb 15; 29(2):117-20, 123-6, 129-32. PubMed ID: 8300760.
    Abstract:
    Most patients with chronic hepatitis are infected with the B or C virus. Diagnosis has been simplified with the advent of increasingly accurate assays. Treatment, however, is still less than ideal; only about 50% of patients respond to alpha-interferon, and the rate of relapse is particularly high in hepatitis C. Refinements in patient selection criteria and treatment modalities are on the horizon.
