Abstract

A 42-year-old male type A hemophiliae who been using coagulates since 1971 was diagnosed Human Immunodefficiency Virus (HIV) positive in 1993. Medical history included liver disfunction in 1987, with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) diagnosed in 1989. He was admitted to the hospital in October, 1994 because of general fatigue. Serum transaminase was elevated, CD4 was 221/micro L, and CD8 was 990. CD4/CD8 ratio was 0.2. HCV was of genotype 2b and 10⁶ copies/50 micro L. 8-week-Interferon (IFN)-β-treatment was started. HCV RNA was eliminated by week 8 and was sustained for one year with no severe side effects. With caerful patient screening, IFN therapy for CHC with HIV may be an effective treatment.
