Within-host virus evolution during the extended treatment of RSV infection with mutagenic drugs
2022-09-18
Abstract excerpt
Antiviral drugs causing viral mutagenesis have shown value against a broad range of RNA viruses causing respiratory illnesses. While drug-induced accumulation of mutations generally decreases viral fitness, the potential for mutagenesis to generate escape variants is unknown and concerns have been raised about adaptive evolution promoting drug-resistance. We report prolonged treatment of a life-threatening RSV inf...
