Antiviral Drugs - Aspects of Clin. Use, Recent Advances

Viral infections remain common causes of serious public health problems throughout the world. Viruses have highly varied mechanisms of propagation and the diseases that they cause are consequently very different. Approaches to countering virus infection therefore need to be tailored according to specific viral characteristics. Understanding the fundamentals of virus-related disease pathogenesis is critically important to improving treatment. The articles that appear in Antiviral Drugs – Aspects of Clinical Use and Recent Advances cover a broad collection of topics that reflect the fascinating range of viral characteristics and the measures that are being employed to counter the diseases that viruses cause.
