Viral Septicemia Models for Preclinical Research
In vivo infection Viral
Viral septicemia, also referred to as systemic viral infection or viremia, occurs when viruses spread through the bloodstream, leading to multi-organ involvement and severe disease. Such infections can trigger overwhelming immune activation, cytokine storms, and high mortality, as seen in emerging pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 or severe influenza strains. Despite the clinical importance, treatment options remain limited, and there is an urgent need for effective antivirals, immunotherapies, and vaccines.
