The anti-infective drugs market will jump to $66 billion by 2013, according to a recently published report.
Anti-infective drugs include: anti-viral therapeutics, antibiotics, anti-fungal agents and prophylactic treatments such as vaccines. Six infectious diseases — pneumonia, tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, malaria, measles and HIV/AIDS — account for half of all premature deaths worldwide. With a worldwide death toll from infectious diseases exceeding 14 million, anti-infective drugs are vital.
To date, the most successful anti-infective drugs target the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, the virus that causes AIDS), the herpes virus (HSV-1 and HSV-2), bacterial infections and hepatitis C (HCV). Truvada, Valtrex, Cravit, Floxin, Atripla, Pegasys, Kaletra and Reyataz are among the anti-infective drugs with the highest global sales.
