Infection by a
Coronaviridae
virus (e.g., a coronavirus) and/or illness due to a
Coronaviridae
virus are treated or protected against by administration of a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of certain nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof, either alone or in a composition comprising the nucleoside compound or its derivative and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In addition, replication of a
Coronaviridae
virus is inhibited by administration of the nucleoside compounds and derivatives thereof, either alone or in pharmaceutical compositions. The nucleosides are particularly suitable for use in treating or prophylaxis of an infection by the SARS virus and/or in treating or prophylaxis of SARS, and for use in inhibiting replication of the SARS virus. The nucleoside compounds and derivatives can optionally be administered in combination with other agents active against the
Coronaviridae
virus and/or an illness due to the virus. The nucleoside compounds are also for use in the manufacture of medicaments for the inhibition of
Coronaviridae
virus replication, for the treatment or prophylaxis of
Coronaviridae
virus infection, and/or for the treatment or prophylaxis of an illness due to a
Coronaviridae
virus (e.g., the SARS virus). In addition, the compounds are for use as medicaments for the inhibition of
Coronaviridae
virus replication, for the treatment or prophylaxis of
Coronaviridae
virus infection, and/or for the treatment or prophylaxis of an illness due to a
Coronaviridae
virus.
