Q

Pathogenesis of rabies

A

The virus multiplies locally at the bite site, infects the sensory neurons, and moves by axonal transport to the central nervous systemThe virus multiplies in the central nervous system and then travels down the peripheral nerves to the salivary glands and other organs. From the salivary glands, it enters the saliva to be transmitted by the bite. There is no viremic stage. Within the central nervous system, encephalitis develops, with the death of neurons and demyelination. Infected neurons contain an eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusion called a Negri body, which is important in laboratory diagnosis of rabies. Because so few individuals have survived rabies, there is no information regarding immunity to disease upon being bitten again.

Laboratory Diagnosis
Rapid diagnosis of rabies infection

A

In animal by using either PCR assay, fluorescent antibody to rabies virus, or histologic staining of Negri bodies in the cytoplasm of hippocampal neurons.
Rabies in humans can be diagnosed by PCR assay; by fluorescent antibody
by isolation of the virus from sources such as saliva, spinal fluid, and brain tissue
Negri bodies can be demonstrated in corneal scrapings and in autopsy specimens of the brain.

Q

Virulence Factors: What Makes Filoviruses Deadly?

A

The virulence factors unknown in filoviruses
filoviruses infect the cells of the immune system, which fights infections, the liver, which produces the coagulation proteins in the blood, and the adrenal gland, which has a role in controlling blood pressure. The resulting hemorrhagic fever causes three major problems: 1) Blood clots form in the circulatory system and can cause multi-organ failure. 2) Blood vessels weaken and become permeable, causing bleeding (hemorrhaging) and swelling (edema). 3) The immune system is altered.

is typically limited to the mucosal cells of the respiratory tract. Pneumonia caused by SARS coronavirus is characterized by diffuse edema resulting in hypoxia. The binding of the virus to angiotensin-converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) on the surface of respiratory tract epithelium may contribute to the dysregulation of fluid balance that causes the edema in the alveolar space. MERSCoV binds to CD-26 on the respiratory mucosa, not to ACE-2.
