Q

rubella fading …

Study These Flashcards
A

fades in 2-3 days in the same order as it appeared

25
congenital rubella syndrome features
cataracts, deafness, congenital heart defects (PDA, ventricular septal defects), and CNS abnormalities (microcephaly, developmental delay)
26
blueberry muffin baby presentation
feature of rubella, d/t dermal hematopoiesis
27
erythema infectiosum, synonyms
fifth disease, slapped cheek disease, parvovirus B19 infection
28
erythema infectiosum, features
slapped cheeks followed by lacy extremity-predominant eruption (children); petechial or aural/periflexural distribution (teens)
29
fetal B19 infection
anemia, fetal hydrops, death (mostly 2nd trimester)
30
B19 pathogenesis
has strong tropism for erythroid progenitor cells, and the erythrocyte P antigen (globoside), to which it binds --> this can lead to all sorts of cytopenias
31
B19 prodrome
fever, headache, muscle aches
32
B19 rash is exacerbated by ...
heat /sunlight
33
syndrome a/w B19
papular-purpuric gloves and socks syndrome (PPGSS)
34
Roseola infantum, viruses
HHV-6 and sometimes 7
35
Roseola infantum, features
high fever follow by an exanthema at defervescence; mostly trunk and proximal limbs/neck
36
unilateral lanterothoracic exanthema
initial unilateral distribution (axilla/lateral trunk), with subsequent generalization (w unilateral predominance); presumed viral though unknown; typically lasts 3-6 weeks
37
Gianotti-Crosti syndrome
symmetric papular eruption (monomorphic) on the extremities, face, and buttocks, EBV (US) and HBV (globally) most common triggers; preceded by URI ; resolves in 3-6 weeks
38
most common pox infection in humans
molluscum contagiosum
39
most common host of cowpox
cats
40
orf
transmitted by sheep (think shepherds), coats, reindeer; papules (1 to few) on hands,; tx w/ imiquimod
41
list hemorrhagic fevers
zoonotic diseases: dengue, ebola virus, hantavirus, rift valley fever virus, yellow fever virus
42
dengue, features
biphasic fever, headaches, myalgia, N/V, retro-orbital pain; morbilliform or scarlitiniform rash with "white islands of in a sea of red"; also signs of bleeding: petechia, epistaxis, and gingival bleeding; severe dengue: plasma leakage --> shock/ respiratory distress/ hemorrhage
43
West Nile virus, features
culex mosquito and blood-product transmission, similar to dengue + LAD and encephalitis; rash predominates on the extremities
44
zika virus tranmission
Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquito, sexual blood transfusion, and mother-fetus
45
zika infection, features
fever, arthralgias/arthritis, headache, conjunctivitis; cephalocaudad rash with follicular accentuation and palmar involvement; Guillain Barre has been reported
46
chikungunya
Aedes aegypti and albopictus mosquito, morbilliform eruption with acral or facial erythema and edema, and genital/intertriginous/oral ulcers; lots of PIH
47
Togaviruses endemic to Australia
Barmah Forest and Ross River Virus infections
48
hepatitis A cutaneous manifestations
panniculitis, urticaria, scarlet fever-like exanthema
49

polyomavirus; solid organ transplant recipients receiving immunosuppressive therapy; numerous erythematous to skin colored papules with a central spiny projection on the face, ears > extremities /trunk; alopecia of eyebrows /lashes; leonine facies; pat: large trichohyaline granules inside KC's; improves w d/c of immunosuppressive therapy and antivirals
51
rabies and derm
dermatologist have been asked to do bx of nuchal skin to confirm dx
52
Kawasaki disease, features
fever, conjunctival injection, oral mucosal changes, acral swelling, and cervical LAD; polymorphous exanthema often with early perineal involvement
53
heart condition a/w Kawasaki
coronary artery aneurysms or ecstasias; myocarditis, pericardial effusions, CHF, valvular disease
54
peak times of the year for Kawasaki
late winter and early spring
55
leading hypothesis for pathogenesis of Kawasaki
bacterial toxin acting as super antigen, though not proven; but also evidence of virus-like particles within intracellular inclusion bodies in the ciliated bronchial epithelium of pts with KD
56
tx of Kawasaki
IVIG; ASA; some evidence for pulsed steroids and infliximab
