3/7 Flashcards
What are the most common sx of a primary HSV infx?
Fever, vesiculoulcerative gingivostomatitis, cervical LAD
What are the most common sx of reactivation of a latent HSV infx?
More limited than a primary infx: periorbal blisters aka cold sores
What do multinucleated giat cells with intranuclear inclusions suggest?
HSV or VZV
Fever, vesiculoulcerative gingivostomatitis, and cervical LAD are suggestive of what infx?
Primary HSV infection (secondary would show perioral cold sores)
Where do HSV and VZV reside and reinfect from?
HSV: trigeminal ganglia
VZV: dorsal root ganglia
What sx are seen in reactivation of endogenous, latent CMV?
Interstitial pneumonitis, retinitis, hepatitis, colitis, and/or generalized disease
