Abstract

Knowing the likely distribution of intervals from hepatitis C infection to first RNA-negativity is important in deciding about therapeutic intervention. Prospectively collected sera and data from the Transfusion-transmitted Viruses Study (1974-1980) provide specific dates of infection and pattern of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations. We examined frequency, timing and correlates of spontaneous resolution for 94 acutely infected transfusion recipients followed for a median of 9.5 months. Later, follow-up sera (>10 years) were available for 27 of the 94 cases from a Veterans Administration (VA) Study (1989-1990). Twenty-five (27%) of the 94 cases were classified as probably resolved during the episode itself. First RNA negativity occurred at 6-50 weeks (median, 19.5 weeks) after infection, and 5-43 weeks (median, 11 weeks) after ALT elevation. Thirteen of the 25 cases remained RNA-negative subsequently; 12 others had 1-6 RNA-positive sera intercalated between first and last RNA-negative results. RNA negativity, therefore, began variably and was interrupted in 12 cases of 25 (48%) by transient RNA-positive sera. Five of these 25 patients who were RNA-negative in the last study specimen had late, Veterans Administration Stud...Continue Reading
