      I do think that every disease is difficult to cure in its own way.

      Viruses are very hard to cure because they are so small – much smaller than fungi or bacteria. They also only reproduce inside our own healthy cells. This makes them quite sneaky as they can hide inside the cells out the way of any treatments we try to use. Sometimes the only way to kill a virus is to kill our own cells 🙁

      I guess a virus, as for the bacteria you can find antibiotics. But viruses are so small, basically just genetical information.
