toxicity of viral infections

Can co-infections exacerbate toxicity?

Yes, co-infections can exacerbate toxicity. When an individual is infected with multiple pathogens simultaneously, the combined effects can lead to more severe disease outcomes. For instance, co-infection with HIV and tuberculosis can result in accelerated disease progression and increased mortality. The interplay between different pathogens and the host's immune response can complicate diagnosis and treatment.
