Psychiatric disturbances associated with Interferon therapy for HCV in Sohag Governorate
Abstract Background: Psychiatric disturbances in chronic HCV infected patients under treatment by Pegylated-interferon and ribavirin combined therapy (PEG-IFN/Rib)still show worldwide controversy and no sufficient studies address this problem in Upper Egypt.Aim of the study: to detect the pattern and prevalence of psychiatric disturbances in chronic HCV infected (CHC) patientsunderPEG-IFN/Rib and the risk factors for these disturbances. Patients and methods: 167 ... Read more
