what is a virus

A

tiny microorganism that infects and replicates inside host cell

Q

HIV

A

human immunodeficiency virus
- attack helper T cells
- long term leads to AIDs (lack of T cells)
- transmitted by fluids
- RNA –> DNA with reverse transcriptase

Q

AIDs

A

helper T cells diminished and body likely to develop other infections
- opportunistic infections
- no symptoms until other infections show up

16
Q

nucleoside RTI example

A

zidovudine (AZT: azidothymidine)

17
Q

RTI adverse effects

A

bone marrow suppression (anemia and neutropenia)

18
Q

protease inhibitors

A

inhibit protease enzyme which makes protein chains into functional proteins

19
Q

protease inhibitors adverse effect

A
  • hyperglycemia
  • new/exacerbate diabetes
20
Q

protease inhibitor example

A

ritonavir

21
Q

ritonzavir interactions

A
  • many drug-drug interactions
  • CYP inhibitor (metabolism reduced)
22
Q

integrase inhibitors

A

inhibits insertion of HIV DNA into t cell DNA
- HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitors (INSTIs)

23
Q

what is HIV combination therapy called

A

highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART)

24
Q

why combination therapy?

A

hiv mutates often (mistakes in dna which cause drug resistance)

25
Q

types of drug combinations

A
  • 2 NRTIs = 1 NNRTI
  • 2 NRTIs = 1 or 2 protease inhibitors
  • BIKTARVY: integrase inhibitor + 2 NRTIs
26
Q

pre exposure prophylaxis

A

HIV prevention for people at risk of being exposed
- daily drug regime
- 2 RTI combination

27
Q

post exposure prophylaxis

A

drugs taken soon after possible HIV exposure to prevent possible infection
- start within 3 days
- lasts 28 days
- integrase inhibitor and 2 RTIs

28
Q

most common influenza virus

A

influenza A (96%)
- H & N surface proteins

29
Q

chronic hepatitis strains

A

B and C

29
Q

herpesvirus group

A

varicella zoster virus
- chickenpox (varicella)
- shingles (herpes zoster)
herpes simplex virus
- HSV-1 (oral)
- HSV-2 (genital)
cytomegalovirus

30
Q

drugs for influenza virus

A

neuraminidase inhibitors
- prevents release of virus from host cell
- can be used prophylactically

31
Q

neuraminidase inhibitor example

A

oseltamivir (Tamiflu)

32
Q

newer flu drug

A

baloxavir
- single dose
- equal effectiveness to oseltamivir

33
Q

drugs for herpes virus (VZV & HSV)

A

DNA polymerase inhibitors
- stops viral DNA synthesis
- synthetic nucleosides

34
Q

DNA polymerase example for HSV and VZV

A

acyclovir
- oral, topical, parenteral

35
Q

drugs for herpesvirus (CMV)

A

DNA polymerase inhibitor
- Ganciclovir
- oral and parenteral
- surgically implanted ophthalmic form

36
Q

CMV

A
  • high risk in immunocomproised
  • common in AIDs
  • loss of vision
37
Q

ribavirin

A
  • synthetic nucleoside
  • PO or nasal inhalation
  • for RSV and hepatitis C
