One-step real-time PCR assay for detection and quantification of RNA HCV to monitor patients under treatment in Brazil
The Brazilian Public Health Service provides freely αPEG-IFN to treat patients infected with HCV. The primary goal of HCV therapy is the long-term elimination of HCV from the blood to reduce the risk of HCV associated complications and death. Patient viremia affects the treatment duration and respon...
