DNA Viruses Flashcards
Parvovirus is
Naked single stranded DNA virus
The smallest DNA virus is
Parvovirus
Parvovirus transmission through
Respiratory droplets
Vertical transmission
Parvovirus B19 cause in children
Slapped cheek fever aka fifth disease
Parvovirus rash , erythema infectiosum
raised, indurated rash Start on the face and move downward
Parvovirus B19 cause in adults
- Joint pain , arthritis and edema
2. Aplastic anemia
Parvovirus B 19 in fetus cause
severe anemia, CHF, hydrops fetalis; spontaneous abortions
Polyomavirus is
Naked Circular double stranded DNA virus
Polyomavirus JC causes
PML Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
Occur mainly in AIDS or immunocompromised patients with CD4 count <200.
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy cause demyelination leads to
non-enhancing multifocal brain lesions in white matter
POLYOMAVIRUS BK causes
Nephropathy particularly in transplant patients, hemorrhagic cystitis

HPV is
Naked DNA virus
HPV 1-4 associated with
Verruca vulgaris = cutaneous common wart
HPV 6 and 11 associated with
- Laryngeal papillomas aka recurrent respiratory papillomatosis
- anogenital warts aka Condylomata acuminate
HPV 16 ,18, 31 , 33 associated with
Anogenital cancers
Guardasil vaccine
inactivated subunit vaccine covers serotypes 6, 11, 16, and 18
HPV malignancy pathogenesis
- E6 inhibits tumor-suppressor gene p53
- E7 inhibits tumor-suppressor gene Rb
Pap smear
screening of cervical cancer (finding of koilocytic cells)
• Is an AIDS-defining illness; ………………….. increases the risk of HPV-related cancers
immunosuppression
HSV is
Enveloped dsDNA and linear virus
Cowdry bodies (intranuclear inclusion bodies) Associated with
HSV
HSV transmission
Sexual , vertical
HSV1 cause
Gingiovostomatitis
Cold sore (Herpes labialis)
Keratoconjunctivitis(serpiginous corneal ulcers on fluorescein slit lamp exam seen)
Erythema Multiform may appear 1-2 weeks after infection
HSV1 latent in
Trigeminal ganglia
Herpes rash has
“dew on rose petals” appearance
Herpetic Whitlow
Herpes rash on the fingers, more common in dentists
HSV2 infection cause
Painful inguinal lymphadenopathy
Aseptic meningitis in adolescents & adults
