Abstract

Neovir, an inductor of interferon-alpha, was injected intramuscularly to 15 male patients aged 16-44 years with diagnosed acute viral hepatitis in a dose of 250 mg a day, 2-3 times a week, for 3 months. By the end of the therapy hepatitis C virus RNA could still be isolated in 84.6% of the patients; the values of AlaT, AsaT and alkaline phosphatase exceeded the normal levels twofold. The result of the therapy is regarded as ineffective.
