DNA Viruses II Flashcards
HHV8 can cause a B Cell Lymphoma called
Primary Infusion Lymphoma
HHV8 is transmitted via the
Kissing population
Are particularly at risk for HHV8 infection
Elderly Russian men
Results in confusion with bartonella hensleae
HHV8
HHV8 is differentiated from Barton’s with
Lymphocyte infiltrate
Has a neutrophil infiltrate
Bacillary angiomatosis
To treat HHV8, we just use
ADIS therapy
What is the viral classification of Polyomavirus?
Naked DS DNA virus
A circular DS DNA virus
Polyolyoma Virus
What are the two main types of polyolyoma virus?
JC (John Cunningham) virus, and BK virus
Causes progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
- Happens to immunocompromised people
Polyoma virus
People with AIDS are at risk for JC virus if their CD4 counts are below
200
A demylination disease and is multifocal
JC Virus
One half of people who get it die within a few months of getting it
JC disease
JC causes non-enhancing multifocal brain lesions in white matter. This is caused
Leukoencephalopathy
In JC infection, neurons become
Demyelinated
A classic presentation of JC (A polyoma) virus is
AIDS patient with motor neuropathy
BK virus causes
Nephropathy
BK virus causes hemorrhagic cystitis, which results in
Peeing red (blood)
Commonly affects transplanted patients with Kidney nephropathy and bone transplant
BK virus
A classic presentation of BK virus is a
Renal patient on immunosuppressants that has hematuria
What is the viral classification of the HPV virus
Naked DS DNA Virus
Cause Verruca Vulgaris, the cutaneous common wart
HPV 1 and HPV 4
Cause laryngeal Papillomatosis (recurrent respiratory papillomatosis), anal genital warts (condo Loma accumulata) (condyloma lata = syphilis)
HPV 6 and HPV 11
Cause anogenital carcinoma (Squamous Cell Carcinoma)
HPV 16 and 18
HPV 31 and 33 also cause
Anogenital Carcinoma
An inactivated quadrivalent vaccine against certain types of HPV
Gardasil
Gardasil protects against which types of HPV?
6, 11, 16, and 18
The most common STD
HPV
Able to upset the cell cycle, tumor suppress or proteins p53 and RB stop the advancement from G1 to S phase
HPV
HPV encodes E6 and E7 to promote the proteolysis of
p53 and RB
Cracks p53 like a crab cracker cracks shells
E6
Stops the progression of transition to G1S phase
p53
Attacks RB to prevent it
E7
The key buzz phrase that suggests cancer from HPV is
Bleeding after sex
To test for HPV, we sample the transformation zone to detect morphological changes. More specifically, we are looking for
Koilocytes
Important risk factor for HPV is immunosuppression, especially in HIV population and can result in
Anal or Penile Cancer
What is the viral classification of Parvovirus?
Naked SS DNA virus
The smallest virus
Parvovirus B19
