Resistance to antivirals
Abstract
The ability of viruses to develop resistance to antiviral agents is already a major concern with respect to HIV. This article reviews mechanisms and clinical correlates of antiviral resistance and alternative drugs for treatment of infections due to resistant strains of HIV, herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, varicellazoster virus, and influenza A.
