virology Flashcards
(40 cards)
Adenovirus
Shed from eyes/respiratory secretions
Pneumonia in children, respiratory distress, diahrrea
HSV-1
Herpesviridae
dsDNA
Spread through contact with secretions
Oral Herpes
HSV-2
Herpesviridae
dsDNA
Spread through secretions
Genital Herpes, neonatal, encephalitis
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Herpesviridae Slow replication spread though contact Shed in saliva, tear, breast milk,urine Asymptomatic or Infectious-Mono-like petichae, hepatosplenomegaly
Epstein-Barr Virus
Herpesviridae
Infectious Mononucleosis (sore throat, fever, lymphadenopathy)
Increased age = increased symptoms
Diagnosed though serological test
Variella Zoster Virus (VZV)
Herpesviridae
Droplet inhalation or contact with lesions
Varicella = chickenpox (children, heals in 1-2 weeks)
Zoster = Shingles (adults, remains latent in cranial ganglia after primary infection; rashes, lesions, pain)
Human Herpesvirus-6
Herpesviridae Roseolla children 6months-2 years fever, rash reactivation in immunocompromised people
Papillomas/warts
Papviridae
High Rick= Type 16, 18
Diagnosis in cytology
Variola (Small Pox)
Poxviridae
rash, fever, lesions on palms/head/soles
Parvovirus
Parvoviridae Smallest DNA virus more common in children "slapped face" rash for up to 2 weeks decreased RBCs (short lived anemia)
Rotavirus
Reoviridae most viral gastroenteritis in kids spread through oral-fecal route Replicates in epithelial cells of microvilli of small intestine, virus shed in stool vomit, diarrhea, fever
Coltivirus
Reoviridae
Colorado Tick Fever (Dengue-like)
Lassa Virus
Arenaviridea
Asymptomatic OR diarrhea/vomiting (hemorrhaging if advanced)
Spread though contact with excretions from rats
Rift Valley Fever Virus
Bunyviridae
Arthropod vector
encephalitis/hepatitis
Hanta Virus
Bunyviridea
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome
Coronavirus
Coronaviridae RNA virus Cold-like symptoms fever, pneumonia SARS
Ebola Virus
Filoviridae
High mortality
Fever, chills, diarrhea, vomit, hemorrhaging of organs
Dengue
Flaviviridea Transmitted by mosquitoes Fever, bone pain ("Break Bone Fever") Self-limiting (1-2 wks) DHF = hemorrhage, shock
Influenza Virus
Orthomyxoviridea
Enveloped with 8 segments of ssRNA
Surface Ag “H” (hemagglutanin) is used to bind to host cells
Vaccination contains 2 strains of Flu A and 1 strain of Flu B (trivalent)
Droplet spread
Antigenic Drift
minor change in antigenic structure
Antigenic Shift
drastic change in antigenic structure
Genetic reassortment
when coinfected with BOTH Avian and human influenza = new strain
Rubulavirus
Paramyxoviridea
ssRNA
MUMPS
spread through droplets
Morbillivirus
Paramyxovirdea Measles (rubeola) Spread by aerosols Resp. tract, lymph nodes Sneezing, coughing, fever "Koplik Spots" (Oral lesions)
