Q

pathogenicity of flue

A
  • source =sick person
  • trans. method =
    1)air borne & air drop
    2)contact mechanism
  • gate = mucus of upper resp. tract

pathogenesis:
(cytopathogenic)
- H antigen attaches to CM of mucosal cells in upper resp. tract. N antigen. helps penetrate it, viral RNA is replicated.
- followed by cellular destruction due to its cytopathic action,
-Regeneration of epithelium is slow, leaving the resp. system susceptible to bacterial superinfections.

Q

pathogenicity of coronavirus

A
  • source = sick person
  • trans. method = 1)air borne 2) alimentary 3)contact
  • gate = mucus of upper resp. tract
  • pathogenesis: (cytopathogenic)
  • s antigen attaches, n antigen penetrates, m protein replicates viral genome
    -(cytopathic) host cell rupture to release newly replicated virus
  • they infect closer cells (goes to intestines, CNS,PNS, brain, heart)
  • neurons proliferate slowly , so eventually NS system destroyed.

Q

clinical manifestations of coronavirus

A
  • loss of smell and taste senses
  • post-covid complications; (heart & neurological issues) like= memory loss, tachycardia / high BP
  • respiratory complications; (like pneumonia & lack of O2)
17
Q

pathogenicity of rabies

A
  • source = wild animals (1- dogs, wolves, fox) - 2)rodents 3)cats
  • trans. method = CONTACT of contaminated saliva from animal BITE (with the open wound)
  • gate = muscles, nerve endings at wound area.
  • pathogenesis: (cytopathogenic)
  • virus enters tissues from saliva of the bite
  • replicates in nearby muscle and nerve tissues
  • (cytopathic) kills host cell during replication and moving onto the next and so
  • affects nerves, CNS, PNS
18
Q

clinical manifestations of rabies

A
  • paralysis of the limbs (arms, legs)
  • tingling sensations in fingertips
  • hallucinations
  • pain in swallowing , thus hydrophobia
  • photophobia
19
