Neuro Virus Flashcards
(126 cards)
Rabies virus family
Rhabdo- negative ssRNA virus with enveloped helical capsid that carries an RNA dependent RNA polymerase
rabies transmission
saliva
number 1 carrier of rabies in KY
skunk
two types of rabies
encephalic or paralytic
rabies vaccine (Pasteur)
inactivated vaccine from neural tissue, which can lead to anti-myelin issues
rabies vaccine US
inactive or whole killed vaccine from chicken or duck eggs. 0,7,21,28 schedule- less issues
who gets rabies PEP
vets, researchers, endemic country travelers to countries with the spinal cord vaccine
Tick Vector Arboviruses
Colorado tick virus, Poswassan virus, Tick Borne Encephalitits
Colorado Tick fever
Reovirus- febrile biphasic, Kids get encephalitis and adults get prolonged fatigue
Mosquito Vector Arboviruses
Lacross/ California Ecncephalitits, Easter and Western Equine Virus, St. Louis Encephalitits, West Nile Virus, japanese Encephalitits, Yellow Fever, Dengue, Zika, Chikanguya
La Cross/ California Encephalitits
Bunya virus. Most severe is under 16 years old. Neuroinvasive
Eastern and Western Equine Virus
Toga virus, increased case fatality. Seizures, personality disorders, intellectual impairment
St. Louis Encephalitits-
Flavivirus- children get meningitis and adults get encephalitis.
West Nile Virus
flavi virus- peak is in July to October- Neuroinvasivness increases with age. Encephalitis or acute flaccid myelititis, meningitis
Yellow Fever
flavivirus, hits the second zone of the liver, can bleed for various sites. Black vommit. Congo and Brazil are endemic
yellow fever vaccine
live attenuated vaccine. Self limited encephalitis or viscerotropic reaction from underlying disease state
Dengue
flavi virus first time is asymptomatic, but when infected again get severe infection from the increase in availability of monocyte to infect which increases the viral load
Zika
flavi virus- causes Gillian barre and birth defect. Fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis increase risk of first trimester. Spreads through mosquito or sex
Chickunguanya
explodes once population is no longer immune. Severe joint pain is the major symptoms
Picorna virus
RNA virus with positive sense RNA naked. Early summer and fall
which type of cells are most important to clearing picorna
B cells
asymptomatic polio
no clear signs of infection
abortive polio
majority of symptomatic disease. Incubation 9-12 days. Fever, headache, malaise, sore throat, vomiting. Usually only suspect polio during an outbreak. Sickness lasts les than a week and complete recovery
non-paralytic polio
aseptic meningitis- just like the minigitis cuased by other enterovirus. Have the symptoms of abortive poliomyelitis but perhaps a bit more severe and have symptoms of neck, back and limb.
• There is no paralysis, symptoms last 2-10days
