A

Herpes whitlow

Q

Diagnosis of herpes

A

Vesicles at site of inoculation
Virology lab; culture virus and see immunofluorescene usint antiBs agains HSV antiGs or PCR assay

46
Q

Transmission of varicella zoster virus

A

person-person contact and infected pt can be contagious before skin lesions appear

47
Q

Unique transmission for herpes varicella virus thats different from HSV:

A

48
Q

Varicella Zoster Virus replicates in

A

Q

unlike HSV, VZV has several viral gene products are ________ trnascribed AND translated w/in latently infected neurons

A

ACTIVELY

5 d

53

Secondary viremia for VZV at _____and you see the pox + fever.

A

day 12

54

Chicken Pox:

56
Q

What do we see in Primary VZV infection

A

See blisters (50-300), itching, malaise and fever

	a. aspirin is contraindicated b/c predisposes to liver damage—Reyes syndrome
	b. blisters resolve w/out scar formation, some instances see secondary bacterial infection
57
Q

secondary skin/ pneumonia are more common in primary affection occurs in

A

adulthood

58
Q

________ is very rare and associated with primary infection during pregancy and multple devo defects

A

Neonatal VZV

59
Q

Primary VZV infection can be disseminated→ leading to

A

fatality esp in immunocompromise pts

60
Q

TX for VZV

A

TX: antivirals, acyclovir, VZV immunoglobulin

61
Q

reactivation of latent VZV of single (most often) sensory ganglia (historicall how we mapped dermatomes)

A

Herpes Zoster:

62
Q

Herpes zoster

  1. 1 million/year in US and more common over ___
  2. reactivaiton w/in_______l gang may lead to vision impariment
  3. Duration can be controlled with
A

50
trigeminal
antivirals; acyclovir

63
Q

complication of zoster; severe pain w/out vesicular lesion, mimic appendicitis or heart attack. Antiviral have no effect

A

Postherpatic neuralgia:

64
Q

Key differentials for Herpes zoster

A

Differentials include: bacterial or entervirus infection, contact dermatitis or disseminated HSV

  • historically most important differential was smallpox
  • Differential of acute pain preceding herpes zoster can be complicated especially prior to cutaneous eruption
65
Q

Diagnosis of Herpse zoster

A

Clincally: VZV DNA PCR detection of the VZV antiG in lesions by immunoflourescence
Serollogy will determine immune status of individual

66
Q

Vaccine for varicella herpess was _______ viurs—Oka strain was liscensed in 1995; gives us herd like protection against transmission

A

live attenuated

67
Q

Who recieved the vaccine: yougn children, 2 doses; required in W and up to 15-20% vaccinated ind get infected w/ wild type VZV and will

A

establish latency

68
Q

is the vaccine useless if you end up getting chicken pox

A

a. vaccine can sig reduce severity of primary infection
wild type VZV strain can reactivate and cauase zoster later in life in spite of immunizatin but will be mild
life long immunity

69
Q

When should we be careful with the Oka virus vaccine

A

Oka vaccine strain can be transmitted to immunocompormised—caution when vaccinationg health children w/ immunocompromised siblings
