Description

<p>In this study, we compared the severity of depression in HCV-patients treated with Interferon (IFN) or with daclatasvir (DCV) plus asunaprevir (ASV). Analysis of Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI)-II score showed that the patient with IFN therapy exerted significantly increased scores indicating depression states. In contrast, the patient with DCV/ASV showed decreased BDI score. However, in patients with high BDI score before DCV/ASV dual therapy tendered to increase depressive states at four weeks after treatment, which were recovered at the end of treatment at twelve weeks. We may need careful correspondence including consult to psychiatry with the early detection of the depressive symptoms using BDI.</p><p>In summary, DCV/ASV dual therapy does not induce depression except on the patients with depression.</p>
