Viruses II Flashcards
negative strand RNA in single strand
- HA and NA same glycoprotein spike
- fusion F protein
paramyxoviridae
-lungs, kids, viremia
F protein
fusion protein
- causes infected host cells to fuse together
- in multinucleated giant cells
-paramyxoviridae
parainfluenza virus
paramyxoviridae
-rhinitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis
croup
parainfluenza infection of larynx
-in children
- airway narrowing
- stridor
respiratory syncytial virus
paramyxoviridae
- respiratory infection
- F protein - causes formation of multinucleated giant cells
number one cause of pneumoniae in children
-especially infants less than 6 months of age
respiratory syncytial virus
metapneumovirus
paramyxoviridae
- second most common cause of lower resp infections in young children
- around 1 year old
-bronchiolitis, croup, pneumonia
mumps virus
paramyxoviridae
- infection of parotid gland
- orchitis in testes
parotid infection and testes orchitis
mumps virus
MMR vaccine
measles
mumps
rubella
measles virus
paramyxoviridae
- prodrome syndrome
- kopliks spots
- rash
prodrome of measles
conjunctivitis eyelid swelling photophobia high fever hacking cough rhinitis malaise
kopliks spots
in measles
- day or two before rash
- small red-based lesions with blue-white centers in mouth
small red-based lesions with blue-white centers in mouth
kopliks spots
-measles
measles rash
red, flat bumpy
- spreads from forehead to face to neck to torso
- disappears as it develops
subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
slow form of encephalitis
-caused by measles virus
many years after infection- child or adolescent has slow CNS deterioration with incoordination
hepatitis
RNA viruses
-infects hepatocytes
fatigue, low grade fever, cough, aches, runny nose, pharyngitis, jaundice, elevated liver enzymes
acute viral hepatitis
chronic viral hepatitis
patient often asymptomatic with enlarged tender liver and slight elevated liver enzymes
hepatocytes produce
AST and ALT
bile canaliculi produce
alkaline phosphatase and GGT
viral hepatitis enzymes
very high AST and ALT
slightly elevated alkaline phosphatase and GGT
bile stone
very high alkaline phosphatase and GGT
-bilirubin in blood
naked icosahedral with positive single strand RNA
hepatitis A virus
- family picornaviridae
- fecal-oral transmission
