(2) Paramyxoviruses and Rubella Virus Flashcards
Paramyxoviruses and Rubella Virus
All viruses initiate infection via the respiratory tract & limited to respiratory epithelia except
measles & mumps (dessiminated, viremia is present)
enumerate the structure of paramyxovirus
- Pleomorphic
- enveloped viral genome: linear, (-) ss non-segmented RNA
- RNP
- Matrix Protein
- Hemagglutinin-neuromanidase (HN) protein
- Fusion Protein
structure - TOF
HN protein may or may not have hemagglutinin or neurominadase activity
True
Structure: Fusion protein - TOF
Majority of the virus has hemolysin activity
T
Outstanding characteristics of paramyxovirus
- Antigenically stable
- Particles are labile yet highly Infectious

Parainfluenza Virus - Infection
croup (laryngotracheobronchitis)
Type 1 & 2
Parainfluenza Virus - Infection
- Upper respiratory tract
- pediatric patients <2 (more common for them)
Type 1 & 2 : croup (laryngotracheobronchitis)
Parainfluenza Virus - Infection
Presentation of Type 1 & 2 : croup (laryngotracheobronchitis)
barking caugh and stridor (high pitch wheezing)
Parainfluenza Virus - Infection
pneumonia or bronchiolitis
What type of parainfluenza
Type 3
Parainfluenza Virus - Infection
- Virus can go down and infect low airways (lower tract of lungs)
- More susceptible to acquiring bacterial infection
Type 3: pneumonia or bronchiolitis
