- Chronic hepatitis C genotype 6 is prevalent in Hong Kong, particularly among intravenous drug users, and past treatment responses have varied greatly among small study groups.
- A study involving 70 patients compared the effectiveness of pegylated interferon and ribavirin in treating genotype 6 versus genotype 1.
- Results showed genotype 6 patients had significantly better early and sustained virological responses, indicating they respond more favorably to treatment than those with genotype 1.
