(1) HIV Flashcards
most common medical condition associated with HIV patients
Pneumonia
continuous uprise of the
chest when breathing
Retractions
the px presenta a Respiratory Rate of 25, what category does this fall?
tachypnea
characterized by having blue finger tips; lack of oxygen
Cyanotic
caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) attacking the CD4+ T lymphocytes
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
AIDS individuals have lowered count of this cell
CD4+ levels (T helper)
what CD4+ level presents with px with AIDS
y CD4+ levels of less than or
equal to 0.1
what is teh LAST STAGE of HIV infection
AIDS (<200 CD4+)
what family HIV belongs to, also give the family’s characteristic
**Retroviridae
**
- 2 Copies of ssRNA
- Genome packed with several enzymes
Give the characteristic of RETROVIRIDAE
- ssRNA
- Postive sense
- Enveloped
- Icosahedral
where does HIV virus binds to?
CD4+ cells
what happens to HIV virus after binding to CD4+ cells
D4+ cells and becomes internalized which will then decrease to an undetectable level
why when a px with HIV have lower body immune defense to other pathogens?
the immune system is focused on the HIV so it left the other pathogen unnoticed making the px immunocompromised and nagkakasakit
what is the replication princple for HIV virus
Reverse transctription
RNA –> DNA
uses reverse transcriptase
Viral DNA becomes incorporated into the host DNA, enabling further replication and multiplication
HIV virus are member of?
Retroviruses and Lentivirus
can HIV virus multiply on its own? Yes or mo
nawp, in need of host DNA then reverse transcription
TOF
HIV virus can destroy so many of these cells that the body can’t fight
infections or opportunistic diseases
EURT
TOF
HIB infection is a lifetime disease
F (HIV) gurl if nag t ka whats HIB then????
how many HIV Genome
9 genes
3 categories:
- Structural proteins
- Regulatory proteins
- Accessory/Auxiliary proteins
HIV Structure
genomic region encoding capsid proteins which mainly functions as part of the viral structure
Group-specific Antigen
(gag)
Enumerate the Group-specific Antigen
(gag)
- p55
- p17
- p24
- p7
HIV structure
genomic region encoding the viral enzymes
Polymerase
(pol)
Enumerate the Polymerase
(pol)
- Reverse Transcriptase (p66/p51)
- Protease (p10)
- Integrase (p31)
HIV structure
genomic region encoding for glycoproteins
Envelope
(env)
Enumeare the ENV proteins
- gp160
- gp120
- gp41
HIV structure
- Precursor, therefore, cannot be seen within the viral structure.
- Myristolated protein
p55
HIV structure
Matrix; helps hold the envelope proteins to the virus.
p17
HIV structure
Capsid and Nucleocapsid
p24 (capsid)
p7 (nucleocapsid)
HIV structure
Copies the virus’s RNA genome into DNA
Reverse
Transcriptase
(p66/p51)
HIV structure
- Processes proteins made from HIV’s genome so that they can become part of new fullyfunctioning HIV particles
- Important for the viral replication.
Protease
(p10)
HIV structure
- Integrates the DNA copy of HIV’s genome into the host DNA.
- without this, means no replication.
Integrase
(p31)
9 HIV GENOME
positive regulator of transcription; accelerates the production of more HIV
Transactivator
(tat)
9 HIV GENOME
stimulates the production of
HIV proteins, but suppresses the expression of HIV’s regulatory genes
Regulator of Viral Expression (rev)
9 HIV GENOME
retards HIV replication (cellular proteins)
Negative Replication Factor (nef)
9 HIV GENOME
increases the infectivity of the HIV (APOBEC3G), causing longer infections
Virion Infectivity Factor
(vif)
9 HIV GENOME
Transport of DNA to nucleus; accelerates the production of HIV proteins; arrests cell cycle
Viral Protein R
(vpr)
9 HIV GENOME
promotes intracellular degradation of CD4 and enhances release of virus
from cell membrane
Viral Protein U
(vpu)
9 HIV GENOME
act aspromoters/enhancers of infection; “sticky ends”, which the integrase protein uses to insert the HIV genome into host DNA
Long Terminal Repeat
(LTR)
Structural Proteins
gag, pol, env
Regulatory Proteins
tat, rev
Accessory Proteins
nef, vif, vpr, vpu, LTR
Types of HIV
3 distinct virus groups (env
gene based): M, N, O
HIV-1
Types of HIV
5 subtypes identified: A, B,
C, D, E
HIV-2
Types of HIV
Contains genes that encodes the structural proteins of the virus: gag,
pol, env
HIV-1
Types of HIV
MAJOR difference with HIV– 1 is that it lacks the vpu gene and has a vpx
gene not contained in HIV-1
HIV-2
Types of HIV
Also contains 6 other genes
(tat, rev, nef, vif, vpr, and
vpu)
HIV-1
origin of HIV virus came from cross-species infection by what virus from
monkeys in rural Africa
simian viruses from
monkeys
Origin of AIDS/HIV
In 1930 the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) was introduced to humans that gave rise to ?
HIV–1 group M
TOF
Current evidence: primate counterparts of HIV-1 & HIV – 2
transmitted to humans on multiple (at least 7) different
occasions
True
enumerate the transmission of HIV virus
- Sexual Contact
- Needle Sharing
- Mother-to-child transmission (vertical transmission)
- Contaminated blood transfusions and organ transplan
HIV cannot be transmitted through??
Kissing
Hugging and other forms of touching
Sharing food and cutlery
Insect bites
Toilet seats
Bathing
Sneezes and coughs
Sweat
High titers of HIV are found in?
Blood and Semen
Life Cycle of HIV
after the VIRUS enter through transmission, what will happen next
it will go to the macrophages and
the dendritic cells, affecting the lymphatic system, and then to the blood.
bold = APCs (recall hema)
Life cycle of HIV
TOF
When the transmission is through needle sharing, the pathogenesis is faster as the infection goes straight to the blood
True
Enumerate the life cycle of HIV
- Binding
- Fusion
- Reverse transcription
- Integration
- Replication
- Assembly
- Budding (ikaw)
