(1) Hepatitis Virus (HAV and HBV) Flashcards
viruses that cause the same conditions, the same disease which is hepatitis
Hepatitis Virus
why does hepatitis virus, regardless of the pathogen are able to cause hepatitis?
because these viruses have a high affinity to liver in which they attack and where they reside
the fucking bold wont work, i hate life
Greek word “hepar”
liver
Latin word “itis”
inflammation
Greek word “hepar” + Latin word “itis” =?
Hepatitis
Hepatitis may be caused by?
viruses, or by non-infectious
agents
not microorganism
what are the two main groups of Hepatitis?
- Primary hepatitis viruses
- Secondary hepatitis viruses
what group mainly affects the HEPATOCYTES
Primary hepatitis viruses
what hepatitis virus are found in the primary hepatitis virus
types A, B, C, D, E, and G
hepatitis
no F
main cause of viral hepatitis amounting to 95% of hepatitis cases
Primary hepatitis viruses
also produce liver inflammation, but is secondary to other disease processes.
Secondary hepatitis viruses
Liver is not the host cell, and the disease itself serves as a complication from another primary infection
Secondary hepatitis viruses
what are the main causes for secondary hepatitis viruses?
- EBV
- CMV
- Herpes virus
what are the starting symproms for hepatitis?
flu-like symptoms
fatigue, fever, myalgia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and mild to moderate pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen
Progression of the hepatitis can cause specific complication such as?
- hepatomegaly
- jaundice
- dark urine
- light feces
what are the 2 acute stages of viral hepatitis
- Acute Stage
- Fulminant Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
sudden onset of signs and symptoms which may slowly progress to other stages or forms
Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Causes sudden onset of signs and symptoms with an immediate progression to lethal stages, and the stage wherein an individual may be prone to complications
Fulminant Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Also known to be the latent, or asymptomatic stage, wherein there are no signs and symptoms, but there is an active condition
Subclinical without Jaundice Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Occurs months to years after the acute stage
Chronic Stage
INITIAL LABORATORY FINDINGS
What elevation of certain analyte are seen?
bilirubin and other liver enzymes, especially, ALT
INITIAL LABORATORY FINDINGS
TOF
Specific indicators of liver inflammation and must be followed by specific serological or molecular tests to identify the cause of hepatitis more definitively
F (non specific)
what hepavirus
- Nonenveloped, single-stranded ribonucleic acid virus (ssRNA).
- Hepatovirus genus of the picornaviridae
- *Measures 27 nanometers.
HEPATITIS A VIRUS (HAV)
The first strain of Hepatovirus to be discovered—MS-1
HEPATITIS A VIRUS (HAV)
- Localizes in the cytoplasm of infected hepatocytes.
- Formerly known as infectious hepatitis or shortincubation hepatis
HEPATITIS A VIRUS (HAV)
MOT of Hepatitis A Virus
- Fecal-oral route
- person-to-person contact.
- Ingestion of contaminated food or water
- Ingestion of raw shellfish from contaminated water beds
- Rarely, contaminated blood
What Hepavirus
- Also known as the infectious hepatitis, or MS-1
- It has a short incubation period with an abrupt onset of signs and symptoms.
HEPATITIS A
What is the Hepatits A genus and specie
Genus hepatovirus, species enterovirus 72
Family: Picornaviridae
most common type of hepatitis and the most frequently encountered in the laboratory
Hepatitis A Virus
Where does the antigen and Antibody for HAV can be seen
ANTIBODY - Serum
ANTIGEN - Stool
what is the target analyte for HAV?
antibody - in serum
REGARDLESS OF TYPE, what antibodies can be seen
IgG or IgM
- Acute infection
- chronic infection, a convalescent infection (almost in recovery), a past infection, or the presence of immunity against the virus
- IgM
- IgG
main antibody for HAV
anti-HAV
Hepatitis A Virus
TOF
has acute stage and chronic hepatitis?
F (acute only - self limiting)
Hepa A Markers
Early shedding of the virus are found in?
Stool - ANTIGEN
Hepa A Markers
Appearance of IgM anti-HAV with the onset of the symptoms is considered to be
reactive with an acute infection
Other markers: Icterus and Inc. liver enzyme levels
Hepa A Markers
Report the finding
Serum is positive for IgM anti-HAV
Reactive
if negative = non-reactive
simple symbols of (+) and (-) can be used
Hepa A markers
anti-HAV igG indicates what when seen in serum?
Immunity or recovery
hepatitis A does not have a chronic stage
use RIA or ELISA okie
Hepa A virus - Course of Infection
The onset of the disease starts with the presence of the virus in the?
Stool
Hepa A virus - Course of Infection
presence of virus in the stool -> ?
followed by a peak in IgM anti-HAV along with the continuous increase to a plateau of IgG anti-HAV
Lab diagnosis for HAV
- Indirect ELISA
o IgM Anti-HAV
o IgG Anti-HAV - Indirect RIA
- Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR)
- Stool Electron Microscopy
- Clinical Findings
if DIRECT ELISA = Antigen hinahanap
Hepa A Virus - Clinical Manifestation
give the cause
- Fever
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant
- Malaise, myalgia, and weight loss
- Jaundice
- Yellow to tea-color
urine
- Infectiion
- Liver to deaminsae proteins
- NONE
- Liver is not converting glucos to glycogen
- Infelmmation of the liver and inability to process bilirubin properly
what is the most common prevention of Hepa A Virus?
HAV vaccine
HAV Vaccine are developed when? and what is the other name
- Developed in 1995.
- Formalin-killed HAV
HAV Vaccine
TOF
Recommended for routine immunization of children
aged 25 yrs old
F (12-23 months)
tangina may children bang 25 yrs old???????
