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.
