21 - Viral Pathogenesis and Host Immune Defense (Stapleton) Flashcards
viremia
virus circulating in the blood
killing of cells by viruses
direct
indirect-host immune response kills infected cells
viral infection cellular outcomes
noncytolytic infection
cytolytic infection
transformation
abortive infection
noncytolytic viral infection
active replication, little effect on cell physiology
viral latency
cytolytic viral infection
apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy
altered cell morphology (inclusion bodies, syncytium formation)
altered cell physiology
abortive viral infection
entry of virus into cell that cannot support viral replication
transformation infection
causes cancer
DNA transformation cancer
HPV-cervical cancer
Herpes virus-burkitt’s lymphoma, HHV8
HBV-liver cancer, chronic inflammation
RNA transformation cancer
retrovirus-HIV
HCV-HCC
direct cancer formation from viruses
latent infection cause short lived cells to prolong life
disrupt host cell gene infection
indirect cancer formation from viruses
replication causes chronic inflammation
chronic inflammation causes neoplaisa
reduced immune function, and lower immune surveillance
detection of virus
not visible by light microscopy exclude bacteria, supportive care tissue, swab, blood, or exudates detect virus in cell culture viral antibody detection
molecular detection of viruses
DNA-PCR
RNA-RT-PCR
early symptoms of viral infection suggest
direct viral cytotoxicity
late symptoms of viral infection suggest
disease mediated by immune response
