Table 2 Influence of cytomegalovirus infection on response rate to interferon combined therapy in chronic hepatitis C virus infected patients with IL28B CT genotype n (%)

HCV response to treatment (n =117)	IL 28B genotype (CT) +ve CMV patients (n = 45)	IL 28B genotype (CT) -ve CMV patients (n = 72)
NR (n = 59)	32 (71)	27 (38)
SVR (n = 58)	13 (29)	45 (62)

Reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) was assessed by amplification of viral genome in all patients. Association of IL28B genotype CT and CMV emia with response to interferon based therapy is illustrated in this table. SVR: Sustained viral response; NR: Non-responder.
