Types of Viral Infections
- Latent infection: Characterized by the persistence of viral genomes in cells, but does not produce infectious virus.
- Oncogenic infection: Caused by viruses that can transform infected cells into benign or malignant tumor cells.
- Measles infection: Leading cause of vaccine preventable diseases, and can cause a wide range of disease from mild to severe systemic manifestations.
- Systemic viral infection: Characterized by acute viral infection that affects multiple organs.
- Chronic viral infection: Characterized by the inability of the immune system to eliminate the virus, leading to persistent viremia.
