- W1999839461 abstract "Background There is no generally accepted treatment for chronic hepatitis B (HB) infection in children. Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of a prolonged course of high dose interferon alone or after prednisone priming in children with chronic HB infection. Methods The outcome of 31 children with HB e antigen (HBeAg)-positive chronic hepatitis who randomly received either no treatment (n = 9) or 10 million units of interferon alpha-2b/m2, alone (n = 13) or after prednisone priming (n = 9), three times weekly for 1 year was studied. Results One patient withdrew from treatment. By the end of the first year treatment induced a loss of HB virus DNA and HBeAg from serum in 10 of 21 patients (48%), and a loss of HB surface antigen (HBsAg) in 4 (19%). Alanine aminotransferase values became normal in one patient (4.8%). Response rates in the two groups of treated patients were similar. In controls only one patient lost HBeAg and HBV DNA (11%; P = 0.05), and none lost HBsAg or showed alanine aminotransferase normalization (P = 0.21 and 0.70, respectively). After a posttreatment 2-year follow-up there were still no differences in the response rates of the two treatments; of the 21 pooled treated patients, 61% lost HBeAg and DNA and 67% normalized alanine aminotransferase (vs. 33 and 44% of controls, respectively; P = 0.32 and 0.40). Reversion to HBeAg and HBV DNA negativity in treated patients occurred significantly earlier (P = 0.02 and 0.006, respectively) than in controls. No further patient lost HBsAg, but one reacquired HBsAg. Treated patients had posttreatment histologic scores better than controls (P = 0.03). Conclusions Our medium term follow-up results indicate that a prolonged course of high dose interferon in children with chronic HB infection, regardless of prednisone priming, poorly affects response rates but significantly speeds termination of active viral replication." @default.
