Vv. Malinovskaya et al., THERAPY OF PATIENTS WITH ACUTE VIRUS HEPATITIS-B RUNNING A LIGHT COURSE WITH RECOMBINANT ALPHA(2)-INTERFERON PREPARATIONS, Voprosy virusologii, 42(4), 1997, pp. 182-185
Interferon (viferon-500 and reaferon) is recommended for patients with
light forms of acute virus hepatitis B to prevent chronic degeneratio
n of the disease. The data of dynamic monitoring of the production of
alpha-inteferon helped develop a test for predicting threatened chroni
c degeneration of light forms of hepatitis B. Indications for antivira
l therapy aimed at prevention of chronic disease have been defined.
