Antiviral Treatment of Flu: Is a Vicious Circle?

Kurtaran Behice

Abstract

When assessing the positive effects of antiviral therapy of flu on patients, the natural course of the disease, immunology, epidemiology, and global dimension should not be ignored. With the elimination of the pathogen by antiviral drugs, it may eliminate the need to improve the immune response of the host and it may eventuate to continuing epidemics of influenza.
