INFANTE VELAZQUEZ, Mirtha et al. Interferón alfa en el tratamiento de la Cirrosis Hepática por Virus C: Presentación de 2 casos. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2000, vol.29, n.2, pp. 140-144. ISSN 1561-3046.

The evolution of two patients diagnosed with liver cirrhosis caused by hepatitis C virus and treated with interferon alpha for 9 and 12 months respectively was presented. The therapy was aimed at improving the quality of life of these patients and encouraging a slower progression of the disease. Both patients were included in Child/Pugs classification group A. The treatment was well-tolerated and no clinical decompensation signs were observed. It is necessary to make observations for a longer period of time to assess the effectiveness of this therapeutic approach.

Keywords : LIVER CIRRHOSIS [diagnosis]; HEPATITIS-C LIKE VIRUSES.
