Viruses are microscopic bits of genetic material (DNA or RNA) with a protein covering around them. Some viruses have a fatty “envelope” that protects them. They are incapable of self-reproduction. Viruses are entirely reliant on the creatures they infect (hosts) to survive. Viruses have a poor reputation, although they play a crucial role in the lives of humans, plants, animals, and the environment. Some viruses, such as hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, can cause chronic infections. Chronic hepatitis can last for years, even decades. In many people, chronic hepatitis is quite mild and causes little liver damage. However, in some people, it eventually results in cirrhosis (severe scarring of the liver), liver failure, and sometimes liver cancer. Probably the most common viral infections are. Infections of the nose, throat, upper airways, and lungs are known as respiratory infections. Upper respiratory infections, such as sore throat, sinusitis, and the common cold, are the most prevalent respiratory illnesses. Influenza, pneumonia, and coronaviruses are examples of other viral respiratory illnesses. A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism [1]. Viruses typically induce croup in small children. Infections of the gastrointestinal system, such as gastroenteritis, are frequently caused by viruses such as noroviruses and rotaviruses. Because viruses area cellular, they do not reproduce through cell division. Instead, they employ a host cell’s machinery and metabolism to make many copies of themselves, which they then assemble in the cell [2]. Hepatitis is the outcome of these illnesses in the liver. Nervous system: Viruses that invade the brain, such as the rabies virus and the West Nile virus, cause encephalitis. Others infect the brain and spinal cord’s outer layers of tissue (m). The diagnosis of a viral infection is quite simple. A doctor’s opinion The presence of other similar cases for illnesses that arise in epidemics In the case of epidemic diseases (such as influenza), the existence of numerous comparable cases may aid doctors in identifying a specific infection. Differentiating between different viruses that cause similar symptoms, such as COVID-19, requires laboratory diagnosis. Vaccination is a low-cost and efficient method of preventing viral diseases. Long before the discovery of viruses, vaccines were used to prevent viral infections. Morbidity (disease) and mortality (death) linked with viral infections such as polio, measles, mumps, and rubella have decreased dramatically as a result of their use [3].Vaccines and immune globulin help the body better defend itself against diseases caused by certain viruses (or bacteria). The process of strengthening the body’s defenses is called immunization.
