METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF EFFICACY OF ANTIVIRAL THERAPY IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C GENOTYPE 1b

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: lymphocyte subpopulation fractions are measured, and a predictive index is calculated with calculating a lymphocyte subpopulation percentage by flow cytofluorometry. If the predictive index PI<350, achieving the fast virological response to antiviral therapy of CHC is predicted; if the predictive index PI>350, the absence of the fast virological response to antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis C genotype 1b is predicted.EFFECT: using the given invention enables making a high-accuracy prognosis of the fast virological response in the patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1b to antiviral therapy.2 ex, 1 dwg
