Fig. 2 Mean changes in serum HCV RNA from baseline expressed in log10 for patients treated with interferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin as well as control patients. The mean baseline value of HCV RNA in the treated and control groups was 6.81 ± 1.07 and 6.38 ± 0.81, respectively. The mean decrease in HCV RNA was −2.76 ± 1.58, −2.88 ± 1.86; −2.82 ± 2.16, and −1.38 ± 2.16, respectively, at weeks 12, 24, and 48 and at the end of follow-up. There was no change in mean HCV RNA levels in the control group (+0.02, −0.11, 0.00, and −0.25, respectively, at weeks 12, 24, and 48 and at the end of follow-up). The mean decrease in log10 HCV RNA level was significant at all time points (P < at all time points and P = 0.04 at the end of follow-up). ●, treatment; ○, control.
