[Chronic hepatitis C in a 12-year-old girl coinfected with HGV].
In this study we present a 12-year-old girl with chronic C hepatitis coinfected with HGV, in which severe life-threatening side effects from alfa interferon therapy occurred after 3 months of injection and required definite IFN withdrawal. It seems, that infection HGV may predispose patients with chronic C hepatitis treated with alpha interferon to this severe side effect.
