"The end of innocence" revisited: resistance of herpesviruses to antiviral drugs.
In the past 4 years, interest in drug-resistant herpesviruses has evolved from the realm of academic laboratory studies to that of great clinical importance. Recurrent and persistent infections due to the herpes simplex viruses, varicella-zoster virus, and human cytomegalovirus have been an unwelcome consequence of immunosuppression in graft recipients, cancer patients, and those suffering from...
متن کاملResistance of human cytomegalovirus to antiviral drugs.
Resistance of cytomegalovirus (CMV) to antiviral agents is a well-recognized phenomenon that has been observed in the laboratory and in the clinical setting. Infections caused by antiviral-resistant CMV have been found exclusively among immunocompromised individuals, including patients with AIDS, bone marrow and solid-organ transplant recipients, and patients with hematologic malignancies, and ...
متن کاملHuman cytomegalovirus resistance to antiviral drugs.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infections are common and lead to lifelong infections. In immunocompetent individuals, primary infections are mostly subclinical or they may be associated with a self-limited mononucleosis-like syndrome. In contrast, infections in immunocompromised hosts (either primary infections, reactivations from latency, or reinfections) are associated with important morbidity ...
متن کاملRole of HIV Subtype Diversity in the Development of Resistance to Antiviral Drugs
Despite the fact that over 90% of HIV-1 infected people worldwide harbor non-subtype B variants of HIV-1, knowledge of resistance mutations in non-B HIV-1 and their clinical relevance is limited. Due to historical delays in access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) on a worldwide basis, the vast majority of reports on drug resistance deal with subtype B infections in developed countries. However, ...
متن کاملThe importance of resistance to direct antiviral drugs in HCV infection in clinical practice.
Treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with direct-acting antiviral agents (DAA) is associated with high rates of sustained virologic response. Remaining factors associated with treatment failure include advanced stages of liver fibrosis, response to previous antiviral therapy and viral factors such as baseline viral load and suboptimal interaction of the DAA with the target bas...
