  1. viral infection

    A viral infection is a disease or illness caused by a virus invading the body and multiplying in cells, often damaging or killing those cells in the process. These infections can affect various parts of the body, including the respiratory tract, digestive system, or nervous system. They can range from mild conditions such as the common cold to severe, life-threatening diseases such as HIV/AIDS or COVID-19. Viruses are highly contagious and can spread from person to person through various ways, including airborne transmission, direct contact, or contaminated surfaces or objects. Unlike bacterial infections, viral infections cannot be treated with antibiotics and often must run their course. However, vaccines can prevent many viral infections.
