What are the possible complications of viral diseases?

Answer»

In some people, viral diseases can break down the body’s defenses and lead to more serious infections and life-threatening complications. Therefore, it is important to visit your health care provider when you have symptoms of a viral infection. Once the underlying infection has been determined, following the treatment plan outlined by your health care provider can help reduce any potential complications including:

  • Acute bronchitis
  • Cervical cancer (from human papillomavirus infection)
  • Dehydration
  • Frequent life-threatening, opportunistic infections
  • Otitis media (ear infection)
  • Pneumonia
  • Secondary bacterial infection
  • Seizures
  • Shock and coma
  • Sinusitis
  • Worsening of asthma
