What Are DNA Viruses?
DNA virus, also known as deoxynucleotide virus, is a biological virus of DNA, which belongs to the first class virus [1] .
- virus
- According to the type of viral nucleic acid and how to transcribe mRNA, it can be divided into 2 types: double-stranded DNA virus and single-stranded DNA virus [3]
- For DNA testing, one is quantitative and the other is qualitative monitoring, which detects genotyping and resistance mutations. Qualitative testing is more demanding than quantitative.
- Emphasize the use of interferon and nucleoside analogs for antiviral treatment. Regardless of the treatment of any drug, the titer and negative conversion of the virus are rigid indicators for assessing antiviral treatment, so this detection index is very important.
- Taking HBV as an example, the speed and magnitude of HBV DNA decline during many drug treatments have important predictive value for the effect that antiviral therapy should achieve. HBV genotypes and resistance mutations are determined. For example, some patients change from negative to positive after taking the drug, and the hepatitis B virus DNA is elevated. In such patients, we must pay full attention to whether drug-resistant mutations have occurred. Doctors change drugs or change treatment options
