Abstract

Effects on linear growth were noted in children treated with peginterferon ± ribavirin in the Pediatric Study of Hepatitis C trial. Growth was further examined in a subset of patients followed for up to 6 years post-treatment. No long-term effects on height-for-age z scores were observed that could be attributed to hepatitis C virus treatment.<br /> (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
