Study Notes

General Characteristics of Viruses

  • Viruses contain a single type of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) and a protein coat, sometimes enclosed by an envelope composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
  • Viruses multiply by using the host cell's synthesizing machinery to cause the synthesis of specialized elements that can transfer the viral nucleic acid to other cells.

Herpes Simplex Virus

  • Can cause genital herpes, mucocutaneous herpes, herpes simplex encephalitis, herpes simplex keratitis, and herpes zoster (also known as chickenpox).
  • Type-1 virus causes herpes simplex encephalitis.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

  • Can cause retinitis in patients with AIDS.

Amantadine

  • Used for prophylaxis and treatment of influenza A2.
  • Reduces fever, congestion, cough, and promotes quicker recovery.
  • Also used to treat Parkinsonism.

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)

  • Zidovudine is used in combination with at least two other ARV drugs to treat HIV-infected patients.
  • Used for prevention of perinatal HIV-1 infection.
  • Tenofovir is a nucleotide analogue with a good tolerability profile, making it a first-line regimen option.
  • Tenofovir-containing regimens are effective and less toxic than other first-line regimens.

Integrase Inhibitors

  • Examples include Dolutegravir, Raltegravir, Bictegravir, and Elvitegravir.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

  • No specific information provided.
