Article Synopsis
- A study examined the occurrence of seroreversion, which is when previously positive anti-hepatitis C virus tests become negative, in patients who responded to antiviral treatment with Interferon and Ribavirin.
- Out of 30 sustained responders followed for an average of about 55 months, 23% experienced seroreversion, and 25% of them lost anti-HCV antibodies by 56 months post-treatment.
- The patients who had seroreversion displayed lower CD4+ immune response compared to those who remained positive for anti-HCV antibodies, indicating potential challenges in achieving complete viral eradication in some cases.
