Viral throat infection
Viral throat infection. Computer artwork of several tracheae (windpipes), seen from the outside, with viruses (spiky balls, not to scale). The common cold is a viral infection that attacks the throat and other areas of the respiratory tract. Symptoms include fluid discharge from inflamed mucous membranes. There is no cure, but the symptoms, such as a sore throat, can be treated. The white structures seen here are the bands of cartilage that prevent the windpipe from collapsing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork captures the intricate details of a viral throat infection, showcasing several tracheae under attack by spiky virus balls. The common cold, a notorious viral infection that targets the respiratory tract and throat, is vividly depicted here. As we delve into this microscopic world, we witness the consequences of such an invasion. The inflamed mucous membranes are evident through fluid discharge seen in this image. Although there is no cure for this ailment, various symptoms like a sore throat can be alleviated with proper treatment. The white structures surrounding the windpipes are bands of cartilage that play a crucial role in preventing collapse and maintaining airflow. This thought-provoking illustration serves as a reminder of our vulnerability to viruses and their ability to disrupt our daily lives. It highlights the importance of understanding virology and developing effective medical interventions to combat such diseases. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through in this remarkable piece of artistry, offering us an opportunity to explore the intricacies within our own bodies. Let us appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and its educational value as it sheds light on one of humanity's most common ailments – the relentless common cold.
