Superinfection by hepatitis delta virus (HDV) in hepatitis B virus chronic carriers is normally
associated with a progressive liver injury. For this reason, the aim of the present study was to
determine the efficacy of recombinant interferon alpha (rIFN-α) treatment of chronic delta
hepatitis, by giving high doses of rIFN-α2c during a prolonged period. A total of 20 HBsAg,
anti-HD carriers with a chronic active hepatitis were randomly allocated in two groups:(I) n=
10, control and (II) n= 10, treated with 10 MU/m 2 body surface of rIFN-α, twice weekly …
