Q

EBV interactions w/ Cells

A
  1. Replication w/in permissive cells: gp350/220 on the envelope enable attachment of the virus to CD21
    • Also contains EBNA, MA, VCA, and EA proteins
  2. Latent infections: Viral genome circularizes to form a plasmid and replicates in tandem w/ the cell; only EBNA and Latent proteins formed
  3. B-cell immortalization: LMPs stimulate replication of B-cells and the virus

Q

HIV Structure

A

Consists of two identical RNA genomes held together by tRNA (p9 and p7); housed in a cylindrical capsid containing p24

Envelope contains gp160 (major in M-tropic) and gp120-gp41 (major in T-tropic)

*gp120=»attaches to the cell receptor
gp41=»responsible for cell fusion

Study These Flashcards
A

CD4 > 200 PCP
-Treat w/ Bactrim

CD4 > 150 Toxoplasmosis
-Treat w/ Bactrim

CD4 > 50 MAC and CMV
-Azithromycin and Ganciclovir

21
Q

Complera

Study These Flashcards
A

Rilpirivine + emtricitibine + tenofovir

*Only works if viral load is

22
Q

Stribild

Study These Flashcards
A

Used on treatment naive pts.

Contains 4 drugs

23
Q

Cobicistat (Tybost)

Study These Flashcards
A

Used w/ elvitegravir as a “boosting agent”

-inhibits CYP3A ➡️➡️ increased half life of other drugs

Part of the “quad pill,” Stribild

24
Q

Maraviroc

Study These Flashcards
A

Binds to CCR5 inhibiting entry of HIV into the cell

-Can only be used on pts. w/ M-tropic virus

25
Enfurvitide
MOA: Binds to gp41 inhibiting HIV-1 viral fusion w/ the host membrane *Only HIV Injection drug =>> painful nodules @ site of injection; possible allergic rxns too
26
Efavirenz
NNRTI that MUST BE used w/ 2 other agents; has a very long half-life so it can lead to only the exposure of one agent to the virus =>> possible development of RESISTANCE * Severe neurological symptoms including somnolence, dizziness, confusion, abnormal dreams - Also has occurrence of rash as with all NNRTIs
27
Nevirapine
NNRTI that inhibits RT; must use w/ 2 other agents as w/ what other drug? *Possible cause of Steven-Johnson Syndrome; frequently causes at least a rash ⭐️⭐️Use w/ CD4 counts >250
28
Abacavir
NRTI (needs phosphorylation to inhibit RT) *MUST SCREEN for anti-HLA ab (HLAB*5701) before initiating therapy
29
Tenofovir
NRTI; allows continued efficacy against HIV strains that have developed some resistance ADR: Lactic acidosis; steatosis; BM suppression; exacerbation of Hep B
30
Zidovudine
NRTI w/ severe BM suppression -Also has lipoatrophy, myoatrophy, and insulin resistance
31
Elvitagravir (and anything w/ -gravir)
Integrase inhibitor; inhibition of viral DNA strand transfer to host DNA ADR: Pyrexia; CK elevation
32
Ritonavir
Protease inhibitor that prevents HIV from cleaving peptides into smaller, fnxnal virions -**Booster that allows lower doses and pill burden for several antivirals - Can also cause parasthesias * **ASSOC. W/ Endocrine abnormalities: hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance, osteonecrosis
33
Darunavir/Tipranavir
Good for PI-resistant HIV strains -Can cause rash/hepatotoxicity
34
HIV Treatment for Pregnant Women
ART combination: DURING LABOR IV Zidovudine IF HIV RNA >400copies/mL ***Cannot use efavirenz =>> severe teratogen that causes neural tube malformation; if after 5-6 weeks, treatment can be continued =>>Do pregnancy test before starting this treatment **Should even give Zidovudine and nevarapine 6/wks post-partum
35
Post-exposure HIV prophylaxis
Raltegravir and Truvada First treatment in
36
Pre-exposure prophylaxis
Truvada; decreases rate by ~90%
37
Didanosine
NRTI assoc. w/ pancreatitis and peripheral neuropathy
38
Raltegravir, Elvitegravir
Integrase inhibitor Restricted to treatment of multiple drug resistant HIV pts. and is assoc. w/ CPK elevation and pyrexia
39
HIV Mechanisms for destruction of uninfected T-cells
Activation-induced apoptosis Non-cytopathic infxn- inflammatory mediators cause pyroptosis Destruction of immature precursors in the thymus Formation of syncytia w/ uninfected cells
40
Latency of HIV
Remains in CD4 cells and macros =>> hides here from retroviral therapy -During latency, decreased CD4 cells also cause: loss of memory, decreased helper fnxn, and decreased cell-mediated immunity
41
Macros and HIV
Provide a reservoir and inhibit the fnxns of macrophages -Also cause infxn of the CNS as monocytes carry the virus to the brain and cause indirect damage
42
Dendritic Cells in HIV
Initially infected in the and transport the virus to the lymph nodes infecting CD4 cells
43
B-cells and HIV
Initially undergo hyperplasia and exhibit hypergammaglobulinemia =>>Inability to mount proper immune response leads to increased infxns by encapsulated organisms
44
Path of HIV Infection
Virus enters thru mucosal epithelia and infects CD4+ cells there; infected DCs transport virus to lymph nodes where replication causes increased viral load *Seroconversion occurs as a humoral and cell-mediated response occurs (Acute HIV syndrome)
45
Progressive Multifocal leukoencephalopthy
Opportunistic infection in AIDS pts. cause by human papovavirus -PJ, CMV, Candida, HSV, Toxoplasmosis, and Cryptococcus other possible infxns
46
Serology of HIV
Abs: Response 6 days- 1 month after initial infxn; antigenemia occurs first (rapid finger stick detects anti-HIV1 and 2 and also p24-Ag) Viral Load: Used to monitor effectiveness of therapy ID: Identify p-24 antigen; then the antibodies -May need to do nucleic acid test for HIV-1 if First part is positive and second is negative
47
What tests should you do if you really suspect early HIV?
4th generation test AND RT-PCR at the same time
48
MYC protooncogene
Activated by EBV to produce Burkitt's lymphoma in endemic areas
