ABSTRACT
Characterisation of host immune response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotypes may have an important prognostic and therapeutic implication. Genotype-3 was more prevalent in the examined cohort and demonstrated a significantly higher response to combination therapy than genotype-1. Sustained virological response (SVR) was 94.74% in genotype-3 and 45.45% in genotype-1. The patients who achieved SVR reported higher levels of circulating T helper 1 cytokines in comparison to subjects with no SVR in both the studied groups. Besides providing local prevalence, our study might also assist in understanding the host immune mechanisms involved to achieve SVR during combination therapy in chronic HCV patients.
