AB AT-A-GLANCEAntivirals  are  approved  for  treatment  of  a  variety  of  viral  infections.Antiviral  resistance  is  a  growing  concern,  especially  in  the  treatment  of  HIV  infection.Antivirals  work  in  a  number  of  different  ways,  and  their  spectra  of  activity  can  be  very  specific  (amantadine)  or  quite  broad  (ribavirin).The  use  of  prodrugs  of  acyclovir  and  ganciclovir  has  greatly  increased  the  oral  bioavailability  of  these  agents,  which  allows  outpatient  treatment  of  many  herpesvirus  infections.
