Viral infections can be cytotoxic, but the extent of cytotoxicity varies depending on the virus and the host's immune response. Some viruses directly kill host cells by disrupting cellular functions or triggering apoptosis, while others may cause damage indirectly by eliciting an immune response that harms nearby cells. Additionally, certain viral infections can lead to chronic conditions without immediate cytotoxic effects. Overall, the cytotoxicity of a viral infection is context-dependent.
