Observational studies In a retrospective study of the effects of telaprevir based triple therapy (telaprevir in combination with peg interferon alfa (peg IFNa) + RBV on nine patients) four patients were hospitalised because of adverse events (bacterial pneumonia, tacrolimus overdosing with renal failure, infectious enteritis, exacerbated diabetes mellitus and raised liver enzymes) [76=]. Anaemia (n=4), thrombocytopenia (n=4) and skin reactions (n = 3) were also reported.
