USE OF INTRADERMAL AUTOLEUKOCYTE IMMUNIZATION FOR PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS C BEFORE INITIATION OF ANTIVIRAL THERAPY (CLINICAL CASE)
Journal Title: Гепатологія - Year 2016, Vol 32, Issue 2
Abstract
A clinical case is presented in the article, which proves that intradermal immunization with inactivated autoleukocytes may temporarily decrease RNA HCV replication in some patients with chronic hepatitis C. In authors’ opinion, reduction of viral load immediately before initiation of antiviral therapy may have a positive impact on its effi cacy. Inhibition of cryoglobulinemia synthesis caused by autoleukocyte immunization may theoretically influence the effi cacy of antiviral treatment. Th e method is worth further study, besides, autoleukocyte immunization does not have contraindications.
