4. The major criterion used to decide to continue treatment in a patient with hepatitis C is

a. ALT normalization at 12 weeks of treatment.

b. ALT normalization at 24 weeks of treatment.

c. viral load decreased by at least two logs at 12 weeks of treatment.

d. viral load decreased by at least two logs at 24 weeks of treatment.

e. viral load undetectable at 12 weeks of treatment.

5. A patient has been exposed to HCV. The most important test in determining infection with HCV is

a. ALT measurement at four, eight, and 12 weeks.

b. anti-HCV at four, eight, and 12 weeks.

c. HCV genotype in the donor.

d. HCV RNA viral load in the donor >1,000,000 IU/mL.

e. HCV RNA viral load in the recipient at four, eight, and 12 weeks.

6. Recombinant immunoblot assays (RIBA) are best used

a. in all patients with low positive anti-HCV.

b. in all patients with positive anti-HCV.

c. in all patients with positive anti-HCV and negative HCV RNA.

d. to confirm that patients with positive anti-HCV are currently infected.

e. to detect viral clearance in acute hepatitis C.

7. HCV genotype should be routinely done

a. after start of therapy to detect mutation.

b. before start of therapy to determine treatment duration.

c. in all patients with positive anti-HCV.

d. in all patients with positive anti-HCV and negative HCV RNA because of higher sensitivity of the assay.

e. only in persons who have failed treatment to detect resistance to antiviral agents.

8. A patient is found to be HCV RNA positive but anti-HCV negative. All of the following are reasonable explanations for this finding except

a. acute hepatitis-C infection.

b. dialysis patient infected with hepatitis C.

c. HIV-infected patient infected with hepatitis C.

d. recurrence of hepatitis C after liver transplantation.

c. It can be used for diagnosis of acute infection and in immunodeficient patients suspected of having disease with a negative antibody-screen test.

d. It can be used to monitor therapy in patients with chronic disease.

e. HCV RNA can be transiently negative in persons with acute infection, and they will never go on to develop chronic infection.
