Dermatology - Viral, Hansen's Flashcards
Rubella effect on fetus greatest risk during
First 4 weeks
5% of fetus exposed to rubella within 4 weeks develop
Microcephaly with mental retardation Congenital heart disease Sensorineural deafness Cataracts Low birth weight Fetal death
Differential diagnosis
Rubella
Most likely
Drug hypersensitivity rxn
Rubeola (measles)
Differential diagnosis
Rubella
Consider
Other viral infection (enterovirus, adenovirus, parvovirus, human herpes virus-6)
Differential diagnosis
Rubella
Rulle out always
Streptococcal scarlet fever
Rare complications of rubella
Peripheral neuritis Optic neuritis Myocarditis Pericarditis Hepatitis Orchitis Hemolytic anemia Encephalitis
Tx
Uncomplicated rubella
Supportive
Tx
Non pregnant individual
Rubella vaccine within 3 days of exposure
recommendation for neonates with rubella syndrome
Supportive care
Contact isolation until 12 months old or if repeated cultures are negative after 3 months age
Rubella vaccime administered as
MMR
12-15 mos
4-6 years
Potential adverse rxn rubella vaccine
Fever
Morbilliform rash
Lymphadenopahy
Arthralgia
Should pregnant women be immunized to rubella
False
Any woman receiving rubella vaccine should not become pregnant for
28 days
T/F
Infants of vaccinated breast feeding mother may become infected with rubella via breastmilk
T
How to detect rubella infection in fetus
Cordocentesis - IgM antibodies
Transmission measles
Direct or airborne contact with infectious droplets
Incubation measles
9-12 days
Measles
Patients contagious if
1-2 days before onset of sx
Up to 4 days after appearance of rash
Needed immunity to control Measles
Humoral
Cell-mediated
Ig involved measles
IgM initially then IgG
Controls viral replication and confers antibody protection
Humoral
Eliminates infected cells
Cell- mediated
Effect of Measles on immunity
Transient immunosuppression
- Depressed delayed hypersentitivity
- Depressed T cell counts
- Inc. Risk bacteria
vaccine measles effect on measles
Less severe sx
Prolonged incubation 14-20 days
Immunosuppressed
Measles presentation
Severe disease
Can present without typical rash
Prodrome Measles lasts for
4 days
Prodrome Measles
Fever 40-40.5 C Malaise Coryza Cough (brassy/ barking) Conjunctivitis (palpebral, lid margin)
Catarrhal inflammation of the mucrous membrane in nose esp by cold or by hay fever
Coryza`
Pathognomonci enanthem of measles
Koplik spots
Koplik spots typically seen
Buccal mucosa, near second molars
Koplik spots appear
1-2 days before
Lasta 2 days after onset of rash
Exanthem is erythematous, non-pruritic, macules and papules that begin on forehead, behind the ears
Measles
Rash progression
Measles
Neck, trunk, extremities
Hands feet involved
Leasion coalesce (face, neck)
Measles
Rash peak
3 days
Measles
Rash
Disappear
4-5 days after appearance
Desquamation may occur
Measles
Seen in inviduals who received formalin inactivated measles then exposed to wild-type virus
Atypical measles infection
Not present in atypical measles
Coryza, conjunctivitis, koplik spots
Maculo-papular, hemorrhagic, vesicular, uritcarial
Spreads centripetally
Atypical measles
Atypical measles difficult to distinguish from
Rock mountain spotted fever
Lab abormalities meases
Monocytosis
Leucopenia
Thrombocytopenia
Pharyngeal virus shedding of measles end by
2nd day rash
Most common complication of measles
Otitis media
Pneumonia
Diarrhea
Laryngotracheobronchitis
Most common fatal complication of measles in children
Most common complication adults
Pneumonia
Prodromal sx of measles mimic
Influenza-like illness
Tx measles
Supportive
Antibiotics - secondary bacterial
Ribavirin
Vit supplement
Measles risk fatality 1%
Vit A
Individuals who should receive immunoglobulin prophylaxis of measles
At risk children less than1 yr, pregnant women, unimmunized, immunocompromised prophylaxis
Within 6 days of exposure
Within 72 hours -will not get infection
Measles vaccine given after immunoglobulin to confer lasting protection when
5 months later (except pregnant, impaired immune system)
Common potential side effects of measles vaccine include
Fever
Transient morbilliform rash that resolve w/o tx
Ci measles vaccine
Moderate to severe illness
Allergic to eggs or neomycin
Pregnant
Impaired immune systems
How many months off chemo or immunosupressive agent can you give measles vaccine
3 months
Rubella transmission
Direct
Droplet contact
Rubella shed virus
5-7 days before
14 days after onset
Rubella infection can lead to lifelong immunity
T
Congenital rubella , can shed virus for up to
12 months after birth
Prodrome rubella
Low-grade fever, rhinitis, cough, sore throat, lymphadenopathy
Enanthem
Tiny red macules on soft palate and uvula
Forsheimer spots
Enanthem that appears in rubella but not diagnostic
Forsheimer spots
clustered, white lesions on the buccal mucosa (opposite the lower 1st & 2nd molars) and are pathognomonic for measles.
Koplik spots
Koplik spots manifest
2-3 days before measles rash appear
Rash progression rubella
pink to red macules and papules begin to erupt on the face, quickly progressing to involve neck, trunk, and extremities
Lesions on the trunk may coalesce, whereas those on the extremities often remain more discrete.
exanthem occurring 14 to 17 days after exposure, is characterized by pruritic pink to red macules and papules
Rubella
rash usually begins to disappear in 2 to 3 days,
Rubella
persistent and clears the head and neck first
Measles
Desquamation
Meales vs rubella
Both
Lymphadenopathy rubella
Area
Posterior cervical
Suboccipital
Post-auricular LN
Adult, women at risk to develop this complication with rubella
Arthritis
Lab rubella
Leukopenia
Neutropenia
Increase atypical lymphocytes
Abundant plasma cells
Weakly acid-fast, causes leprosy
Mycobacterium leprae
M. Leprae grows best at
30 C
Unique glycolipid to leprosy bacillus

Intracellularly
Macrophages, nerves
Major cause of leprosy in some regions
Found in patients in mexico
