Medical virology

The medical Virologie is a branch of the medicine (more particularly of the medical Biologie) which consists to isolate and/or characterize the viruses responsible for certain pathologies at the man by various direct or indirect techniques (cellular Cultures, serologies, biochemistry, molecular biology…). It also consists in checking the absence of resistance of the antiviral viruses to the treatment by techniques of sequencing of the viral genome in order to adapt the therapeutic antiviral one as well as possible.

Examples of viruses implied in human pathology

  • HIV

  • Herpes viridae (HSV, MVC, EBV, VZV, etc.)
  • Virus of hepatitises (HAV, HBV, HCV…)
  • Virus of the Measles, the Rubella, the Mumps
  • Virus of the Influenza
  • etc…

Examples of antiviral treatments

  • anti-retrovirales

    Therapeutic:

    • Antiprotéases
    • Inhibiting nucleosidic
    • Inhibiting nucleotidic
    • Inhibiting nonnucleosidic
    • Inhibiting of fusion
    • Anti-intégrases
