• AntibioticCompared with: Antibiotics target bacteria and do not treat viral infections such as influenza.

• VirusRelated: Antiviral drugs target steps in the viral life cycle.

• PneumoniaRelated: Antiviral treatment may help when pneumonia is caused by a susceptible virus.

• COVID-19Narrower topic: Antivirals such as nirmatrelvir can treat eligible people with COVID-19.

• Antibiotic therapyCompared with: Antiviral drugs treat viral infections, which antibiotics do not cure.

• InfluenzaNarrower topic: Antiviral medicines can shorten illness when used promptly for eligible patients.

• AzithromycinCompared with: Azithromycin acts against susceptible bacteria and does not treat viral infections such as colds.

• Viral replicationRelated: Many antivirals target enzymes or stages required to make new virus particles.

• Organophosphorus chemistryRelated: Phosphonate and nucleotide analogues provide important antiviral drug designs.

• Genital herpesNarrower topic: Antiviral medicines reduce outbreak duration and can suppress genital herpes recurrences.

• Antifungal drugCompared with: Antivirals target viral processes rather than the cellular structures targeted by many antifungals.

• AmantadineNarrower topic: Amantadine’s former influenza role places it among antiviral medicines, despite its resistance-limited use.

• AntifungalCompared with: Viruses rely on host cells, unlike fungi, which have their own druggable cellular machinery.

• CoronavirusNarrower topic: Antivirals can target coronavirus enzymes or other stages of its life cycle.

• VirologyRelated: Understanding viral life cycles reveals molecular targets for treatment.

• OrthomyxoviridaeNarrower topic: Several antivirals act on influenza proteins or replication processes.

• Viral diseaseRelated: Antivirals can treat particular viral diseases by targeting stages of replication.

• AntiparasiticCompared with: Viruses require different treatment targets from parasitic organisms.

• Gertrude B. ElionNarrower topic: Acyclovir helped establish effective treatment for herpesvirus infections.

• Respiratory tract infectionRelated: Some respiratory viral infections have specific antivirals that can reduce illness.
