Viral invasion of the body causes metabolic changes involving pathways such as gluconeogenesis, amino acid metabolism, lipid metabolism, the TCA cycle, and energy metabolism and affects vital bodily processes such as nucleic acid, protein, and lipid synthesis. During antiviral therapy, the immune response is closely related to the metabolic balance, and numerous metabolites, including glycolytic metabolites, amino acids, and nucleotides, can influence the immune response. Monitoring metabolites by metabolomics technology can aid in continuously optimizing the efficacy of medications used to treat viral infectious diseases. It also provides diagnostic and prognostic value in the clinic, making it a valuable technological platform. This review concentrates on applying metabolomics technologies to study viral infectious disease pathogenesis and treatment.
