Q

epidemiology of alpha and flavi virus:

  • who is at risk?

Q

how does encephalitis occur from arbovirus?

A

mosquito bite –> primary viremia –> infect macrophages, liver, spleen, lymph nodes –> secondary viremia –> virus infects endothelial cells to cross BBB –> virus infects neurons resulting in cell death

Q

phases of Dengue pathogenesis?

A
  1. febrile phase: sudden fever, headache, muscle pain, rash with petechia called breakbone fever
