#11 Emerging Childhood Disease Flashcards
Viruses: Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Parvovirus B19, Varicell zoster, Human Herpes 6
Respiratory Trnasmission→
Replication in URT→ Viremia→ Target organs and Symtpoms
Measles, mumps, rubella→ viruses are controlled by
vaccines: each will typically cause disese in children and see seriousl sequelle in small number of individuals
Immunizations for MMR:
natural infections protects against re-infection and disease, each has only a single antigenic type—key to vaccine effectiveness!!!!
For MMR: -each virus has______ prior to infecting target organ where symptoms develop
systemic repication phase
MMR—______ develop as result of immunization can limit or block virus at this stage prior to infection of target organ
antibodies
-Humans are the only known host
MMR
Pathology of Measels
Inoculation→ local replication in respiratory tract→ lymphatic spread→ viremia → wide dissemination→ conjuctivae/respiratory tract/urinary tract/small blood vessels/lymphatics/CNS→virus infected endothelial cells + immune T cells (this is where we get the rash AND lifelong immunity)→ RASH can cause
How do we get lifelong immunity to Measles
when virus infects endothelial cells and T cells
Measle life cycle
Paramyxovirade family- 1 segment virus, with fusion protein for fusion to endocytic vesicle, and HN in same protein
Vaccine status for measles:
Live attenuated vaccine- effective for single antigenic type, only host is human, Ab stop infection target organ (act during systemic replication)
typical Measles presentation
See MACULOPAPULAR rash, cough, conjunctivitis, coryza, photophobia, KOPLIK spots (white on inside of cheek)
Complications: otitis media, croup, *pneumonia, blind, encephalitis
see maculopapular rash + kolpick spots
typical measles
Atypical Measles
More intense rash, most prominent in distal areas, see vesciles; petechiae, purpura or uticaria
More intense rash, most prominent in distal areas, see vesciles; petechiae, purpura or uticaria
atypical measeles
Acute onset of headache, confusion, vomit, possible coma after rash dissipates
Postmeasles encephalitis
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis
CNS manifestations (e.g personality, behavior, memory changes; myocolonic jerks; spasticity; and blindness)
________is our highest cause of death d/t measles
OR **more intense rash d/t previous immune response
Pneumonia
Virus for measesls
Live attenuated viruses given as combination→ 12-15 months and 4-6 yrs
→induce strong, long-lasting antiB response
→vaccine-induced immunity and blocks virus during system stage and prevents infection of target organs
Measles virus
: Live attenuated viruses given as combination→ 12-15 months and 4-6 yrs
→induce_________
→vaccine-induced immunity and blocks virus during system stage and prevents infection of target organs
strong, long-lasting antiB response
Mumps clincal syndromes
Infections are often asymptomatic such as Parotitis—almost always bilateral and accompanied by fever
Swelling of other glands: orchitis (can cause sterility), oophoritis, mastitis, pancreatitis, throiditis, CNS, mild meningitis, and rearely encephallits
