TL;DR: Results confirm IVIG effectiveness for reduction of bacterial infections and hospitalizations in human immunodeficiency virus‐infected children and indicate that benefit is maintained for at least 3 years.

TL;DR: Most patients with chronic hepatitis are infected with the B or C virus, and treatment is still less than ideal; only about 50% of patients respond to alpha-interferon, and the rate of relapse is particularly high in hepatitis C.
