RESUMO

Treatment of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) is difficult in thalassemics due to the haemolytic side effects of therapy. This study evaluated the treatment response to conventional interferon and ribavirin in HCV patients with thalassemia major. It was conducted at PMRC Research Centre, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) Karachi. At baseline complete blood count, liver function tests, serum protein/ albumin, random blood glucose, serum ferritin, TSH, HCV RNA (quantitative) and genotyping were done. Conventional interferon 3 MIU thrice weekly and ribavirin 400 mg daily was given for 24 or 48 weeks. HCV RNA was done at 1st month (RVR), 3rd month (EVR), 6th month (ETR) and six months post treatment sustained virological response (SVR). A total of 17 Anti HCV positive patients, age range 7-28 years were included.HCV RNA was found in 12. Treatment was completed in 8 patients. Genotype 3(87.5%) was found in 7 patients, 1 had genotype 1. RVR was achieved in 5 (62.5%) cases, negative PCR at 3 and 6 months of treatment (EVR) in 7 (87.5%) patients, one patient was non responder. SVR was achieved in 2(25%) patients. Anaemia was the most common side effect due to which transfusion requirements increased in 4(50%) patients.
