We evaluated the efficacy and tolerance of ribavirin and IFN-alpha combination therapy over 12 months in 28 patients who were non-responders to IFN-alpha alone. Of 24 patients who have finished the therapy, 6 (25%) obtained a complete response (normal ALT and negative HCV RNA) at the end of treatment and maintained a sustained response 27% (5/18).
