State what each part of the HHAPPPy mneumonic is referring to
Herpes
Hep B
Adenovirus
Pox
Parvo
Papilloma
*DNA viruses
Latent infections
Commonly refer to:
Herpesviruses
HIV-1 vs HIV-2
Which is more prevalent in the US?
Where is the other most prevalent?
HIV-1 is most prevelent in US
HIV-2 is most prevelent in Africa
Which form of Influenza is the most routinely affects people?
Influenza A
Why is the Influenza A virus considered to be most concerning?
Influenza A viruses are found in many different animals. This allows the virus to re-assort, which can create a protein constituency that has never been seen before.
Why are SARS and MERS particularly concerning?
Most of the time, a virus doesn’t cause enough lung injury to kill you.
HOWEVER!!!!
With SARS and MERS, these viruses DIRECTLY cause enough damage to kill
What does rhabdovirus cause?
Rabies
What are characteristic findings with rhabdovirus?
Negri bodies
Brainstem encaphalitis
When symptomatic and without treatment, invariably fatal
What are the viruses that cause hemorrhagic fever and could be potential bioweapons?
Filoviridae [Ebola, Marburg]
Arenaviridae [Lassa fever; Rift valley fever]
Flaviviridae [West nile virus, Hantavirus, Yellow fever/Dengue]
What are general statements that would lead you to suspect a bacterial infection?
- Hgih counts; left shit/PMNs
- High fevers
- Often diagnosed by culture
- Skin manifestations
