Virology Flashcards
What vaccine can you give HIV patients who don’t show signs of immunodeficiency
Live, attenuated MMR vaccine
What are the killed vaccines?
Rabies, influenza (injected), salk polio (salK=Killed), HAV vaccines
What is the only single stranded DNA virus?
Parvovirus (part of a virus=ssDNA)
Three circular DNA viruses?
papilloma- polyoma- hepadnaviruses
What is the only double stranded RNA virus?
Reoviridae
Mneumonic for positive strand RNA viruses
went to a RETRO TOGA party where I drank FLAVored CORONA and ate HEPE CALIfornia PICkles Retrovirus Togavirus Flavivirus Coronavirus Hepevirus Calivirus Picornovirus
RNA viruses replicate where?
Cytoplasm (except influenza virus and retroviruses)
DNA viruses replicate where?
Nucleus (except poxvirus)
Naked viruses (DNA-4, RNA-4)
Adenovirus, parvovirus, papillomavirus, polyomavirus, picornovirus, reovirus, calicivirus, hepevirus
AD’s caught the PARVy PAPs hiding behind the POLe PICing at the NAKED REOl CALIfornia HEPpies
DNA viruses
HHAPPPPy
herpes, hepadna, adeno, pox, parvo, papilloma, polyoma
Unique exceptions about Pox virus
Helical, replicates in the cytoplasm
HSV-1
oral lesions, spontaneous temporal lobe encephalitis, keratoconjuntivitis
HSV-2
Gential lesions
VZV (HHV-3)
Chickenpox, zoster
EBV (HHV-4)
Burkitt Lymphoma, Mono, Hodgkin lymphoma, Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
CMV (HHV-5)
Seen in immunosupressed patients-transplant recipients, AIDS patients
HHV-6
Roseola
HHV-7
less common cause of roseola
HHV-8
Kaposi sarcoma
HSV identification?
Viral culture for skin/genitalia
CSF PCR for herpes encephalitis
Tzanck test: smear of an open vesicle to detect multinucleated giant cells in HSV1 HSV2 and VZV (HHV-3)
Tzanck heavens I don’t have herpes!
1 cause of fatal diarrhea in children?
Rotavirus (Reovirus family)
Paramyxoviruses have what surface antigen?
Fusion proteins (F proteins)
Recombination definition
Exchange of genes between 2 Cr by crossing over
Reassortment definition
Viruses with segmented genomes (influ) exchange genetic material
Complementation
1 virus with a mutated nonfunctional protein infects a cell that has a virus in it that can that has a another virus that has a functional protein that both viruses can use
Ex. HDV uses HBV’s envelope
Phenotypic mixing
Two viruses infection one cell. Virus A is coated with virus B. Virus A then has the infectivity (tropism) of virus B. Virus A’s progeny will not have virus B coat
What virus acquires is envelope from the nuclear membrane?
Herpesvirus
Hepadanavirus causes what disease?
HBV
Hepadnavirus has what DNA structure?
Partially DS and circular
Adenovirus DNA structure
DNA: DS and linear
Adenovirus causes what symptoms
Febrile pharyngitis-sore throat Acute hemorrhagic cystitis Pneumonia Conjunctivitis (pink eye) Adable here and there-->straight down the midline
Parvovirus DNA structure
SS and linear (smallest DNA virus)
Parvovirus causes what disease
Aplastic crises in sicke lcell disease
Slapped cheeks rash in children (fifth disease)
RBC destruction in fetus leads to hydrops fetalis and death
RBC destruction in adults leads to pure RBC aplasia and RA-like symptoms
Papillomavirus DNA structure
DS and circular
Papillomavirus causes what disease?
HPV-
Warts: HPV 1,2,6,11
CIN/cervical cancer: 16,18 (31,33)
Polyomavirus DNA structure
DS and circular
Polyomavirus causes what disease?
JC virus: progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in HIV
BK virus: transplant patients, commonly targets kidney
JC=”Junky cerebrum”
BK: “bad kidney”
Poxvirus DNA structure
DS and linear (largest DNA virus)
Poxvirus causes what disease?
Smallpox–>erradicated by use of live attenuated vaccine
Molluscum contagiosum: flesh colored papule with central umbilication
How can sporadic encephalitis (due to HSV1) present?
Altered mental status, seizures, and/or aphasia
Reovirus RNA structure
DS linear 10-12 segments
Reovirus causes what disease?
Coltivirus-colorado rick fever
Rotavirus-#1 cause of fatal diarrhea in children!!
Picornaviruses RNA structure
SS + linear
