Immunotherapy will be More Promising Tool than Antimicrobial Therapy in Future: A Review
Abstract: Today we are living in antimicrobial treatment era where in treatment of infectious diseases chemical based anti-microbial agents are used. These chemical compounds cure the infection primarily but they show various other negative effects on our health. Not only that, multidrug resistance is another worst result of using anti-microbial drugs indiscriminately. In this situation immunotherapies will show the path further. Many immunology based methods are now practically used in treatment of infections and many are still under research. The two main problems i. e. multidrug resistance and side effects of chemical drugs can be solved by immunotherapies. In this article some infections, drugs along with their side effects are shown in one hand and in other hand several immunotherapies are discussed with their recent applications. This will point out the drawbacks of antimicrobial therapy and the need of development and advancement of immunotherapy in future, which will be more promising.
