Study Notes
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.

Description
Test your knowledge of the pathology of viral diseases and viral infections, including acute infections, latent infections (such as herpesvirus infections), and chronic productive infections. Challenge yourself with questions about immune responses, viral genomes, and the limitations of infections.
