Symptoms, course and frequency information HTLV-1, the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1, belongs to the group of retroviruses and is medically significant primarily due to its chronic course and possible long-term consequences. The literature describes that HTLV-1 can often persist unnoticed in the organism for a long time. At the same time, it is known,Continue reading

Basics, course and frequency information Human T-cell lymphotropic viruses, HTLV for short, belong to the group of retroviruses and occupy a special position within this virus family. The literature describes that several HTLV species are known to date and that these viruses usually establish a chronic, but often asymptomatic infection in humans.Continue reading

Basics, progression and frequency information Retroviruses belong to a medically particularly important group of viruses because they are characterized by an unusual reproduction mechanism. The literature describes that retroviruses use the enzyme reverse transcriptase to transcribe their genetic material from RNA into DNA. This viral DNA can then be integrated into the DNA using an integrase enzyme.Continue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Hepatitis E is a viral liver disease that is mainly transmitted via the fecal-oral route. The literature describes that the hepatitis E virus can be passed on primarily via contaminated water or contaminated food. This means that hepatitis E is one of those infections for which hygiene, drinking water quality andContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Hepatitis D, also known as delta virus infection, occupies a special position among the liver viruses. The literature describes that the hepatitis D virus can only trigger an infection if a hepatitis B infection is present at the same time. This means that hepatitis D is closely linked to the presence of hepatitis BContinue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency info Arena viruses belong to a comparatively young virus family and comprise several different types that are mainly associated with humans through rodents. They are therefore often described in the literature as rodent-associated viruses. In contrast to many other virus-related infections, arenaviruses do not requireContinue reading

Bunyaviruses form a large and medically important virus family. According to the literature, this family comprises more than 200 species, making it one of the largest virus groups. Many representatives are considered to be important emergent pathogens because they occur in different regions of the world, sometimes suddenly in large numbers.Continue reading

Symptoms, course and frequency information Hepatitis C is one of the most important virus-related liver diseases and is caused by the hepatitis C virus, which belongs to the Flaviviridae family. According to the literature, the virus multiplies primarily in the liver cells, thereby specifically affecting the organ responsible for metabolism, storage, detoxification and metabolism.Continue reading
