Q

Dengue pathogenesis (6 steps)

A

  2. APC to T cells
  3. Enter Monocyte/endothelial cells, attacked by CD4/CD8 and cytokines
  4. **activates **immune system
  5. increases vascular permeability (plasma leaks)

33
Q

Primate cycle of transmission is called ________

A

Sylvatic / Enzoonotic

34
Q

Dengue control and treatment

A

No treatment (supportive therapy only)

Immunization is hard because of SEROTYPES

35

Toxic Stage

Late Stages

36
Q

YF initial symptoms

A

abrupt flu like symtoms (with fever)

37
Q

YF toxic phase develops after…

A

initial remission of symptoms and fever

38
Q

YF toxic phase hemorragic manifestations are caused by…

A

hepatic induced coagulopathy.

causes hematemesis, epistaxis, gingival bleeding and petechial hemorrhages

39
Q

YF toxic phase - systemic manifestations?

A

jaundice and albuminuria

40
Q

Late stage YF manifestations

A
  • Hypotension, shock
  • Metabolic Acidosis
  • Acute Tubular Necrosis
  • Heart dysfunction and arrhythmia
41
Q

What distinguishes the CNS symptoms of the late stages of YF?

A

Confusion

seizure

Coma

42
Q

________ are complications in patients who survive late-stage YF

A

Secondary bacterial infections

43
Q

YF replicates initially at ___________

A

local lymph nodes

44
Q

Where does YF spread to once initial infection occurs?

A

First to other lymph tissue, spleen and bone marrow

Then to liver, lungs, and adrenals

45
Q

Most important organ affected by YF?

46
Q

______ form in the liver during YF

A

Councilman bodies

(apoptotic hepatocytes)

47
Q

2nd most affected organ by YF?

What systemic changes result from this?

A

Kidney

Albuminuria and renal insufficiency

48
Q

YF hemorrhage is from reduced _________ and can result in _________

A

reduced clotting factor production by liver

Results in: Hematemesis, thrombocytopenia, and platelet dysfunction

49
Q

The terminal event of YF is _____.

What two things can this be attributed to?

A

shock

from direct parenchymal damage and systemic inflammatory response

50
Q

Almost everyone that enters the toxic stage of YF…

A

progresses to the late (third) stage

51

Single dose gives 100% immunity for 10 years

single SubQ injection

52

glycoprotein spikes

but NO receptor is known!!

55
Q

Alphavirus replication occurs in _____

56
Q

Alphavirus parental ___ RNA strand encodes ______.

This RNA is made into ___ and _____.

This results in production of ______.

A

parental +RNA makes Nonstructural proteins in 5’ end

Molecule recoded into (-) RNA

Made into progeny +RNA is made into +mRNA

This results in production of progeny virus

57
Q

EEE has a ____ period first

58
Q

EEE progresses more rapidly to _____ and ______

A

CNS and death

59
Q

CNS symptoms of EEE

General (headavhe, nausea, confusion)

Focal defecits (sensory/motor loss, seizures, stiff neck, cranial nerve palsies, photophobia)

A

mosquito injects virus subQ

Non-CNS replication during prodrome

2’ viremia = CNS invasion
