Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of respiratory illnesses that primarily affects children, particularly those under 2 years old, and adults. RSV infections can lead to hospitalization even mortality. The transmitted through droplets spread by coughing or sneezing. We conducted an extensive literature search focused on RSV, pathogenicity relevant keywords like 'RSV treatment,' vaccine,' diagnosis' explore effective treatment strategies, advances in potential vaccines ongoing clinical trials, progress diagnostic techniques for accurate timely detection infections. These findings are crucial developing appropriate management control measures.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) allows untargeted identification of a broad range pathogens, including rare or novel microorganisms. Despite the recognition mNGS as valuable diagnostic tool for infections, most relevant indications this innovative strategy remain poorly defined. We aimed to assess determinants positivity and clinical utility mNGS.

Published: April 6, 2023

RNA viruses encode an RNA-dependent polymerase (RdRp), which is essential for transcription and replication of their genome since host cells lack equivalent enzymes. RdRp residues were shown to be phosphorylated by kinases in several human, animal or plant including flaviviruses, picornaviruses, coronaviruses, influenza tymoviruses. RdRps can on distinct kinases. Phosphomimetic mutations identified either positively negatively regulate synthesis association with other proteins. Interestingly, some evolved recruit cellular through direct protein-protein interaction, likely promote tightly control own phosphorylation. Given the nature virus replication, a better knowledge RdRps’ phosphorylation expected facilitate design future drugs that strongly affect activity.

Background and study aim: Since both SARS-CoV-2 Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are positive-sense RNA viruses, it is logical to consider those nucleotide analogues found be successful against HCV could potentially demonstrate similar efficacy severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). The present aims at estimating the frequency severity of COVID-19 in HCV-treated patients. Patients Methods: Cross-sectional was accomplished. enrolled 200 HCV-infected individuals who were eligible for DAADs therapy had received treatment 2019 before pandemic. regimen all patients consisted Sofosbuvir plus Daclatasvir a duration 3 months, except three same 6 months as result liver cirrhosis.‎ Results: attained mean age 53.6 years. Most (74%) came from rural areas, forty-seven (23.5%) different chronic diseases, with hypertension (17.5%) diabetes mellitus (13%) being most common. majority, 183 (91.5%), achieved sustained virological response (SVR). Only 12 (6%) developed COVID-19. In (75%), infection till seroconversion 10 days. All current study, ultimately improved no mortality. Nine (75%) infected one year after last dose DAADs. rarely follow recommended hygienic measures‎. Conclusion recommendations: Previous hepatitis by provides protection SARS-CoV-2. Future large, randomized trials warranted draw firm conclusions.

Nucleoside analogues are a class of well-established antiviral agents that act by being directly incorporated into the viral genome during replication process, resulting in chain termination or induction lethal mutations. While many nucleoside have exhibited broad-spectrum activity against wide range viruses, their effectiveness SARS-CoV-2 is limited. The lack hypothesized to be attributed proofreading function nsp14 exonuclease. In this study, role modulating was investigated using genetic and pharmacological approaches.
