Parvo (SS)
What kind of virus is the human herpes virus?
enveloped DNA virus
What are the three types of alpha herpes virus?
VZV
HSV-1
HSV-2
What are the three types of beta-herpesvirus?
CMV
HHV-6
HHV-7
What are the 2 types of gamma-herpesvirus?
KSHV
EBV
What happens after the primary infection of herpesvirus?
you get latent or persisten infection
When will you get reactivation of herpesvirus?
during immunosuppresion
Both primary herpesvirus infection and reactivations are likely to be more serious in (blank) patients.
immunocompromised
Herpesvirus encode their own (blank) which are targets of anti-viral drugs.
DNA polymerase
How does herpesvirus enter the cell?
receptor-mediated endocytosis
How does herpesvirus replicate?
receptor mediated endocytosis viral DNA translocates to nucleus transcription via cellular RNA polymerase IE-> regulatory E- enzymes for DNA rep L-> structural
What is the Herpes simplex virus?
HSV-1 and HSV-2
HSV-1 and HSV-2 show latency in (blank)
neurons (latency associated with transcripts)
How do you know someone has herpes simplex virus 1 versus herpes simplex virus 2?
antigenicity and location of lesions
In HSV-1 where will you see lesions?
mouth, eye, skin (above the waist) CNS (encephalitis), disseminate to viscera in immunocompromised people
IN HSV-2 where will you see lesions?
vesicular lesions below the waist (especially genitals), CNS (meningitis), neonates and doesnt disseminate to viscera in immunocompromised people
What diseases are associated with HSV-1?
gingivostomatosis
herpes labialis (cold sores)
encephalitis
Who primarily gets gingivostomatitis?
children
What are the symptoms of gingivostomatitis?
fever, irritabiity, and vesciular lesions in the mouth. THe primary disease is more severe than the recurrences
What is characteristic of herpes labialis (cold sores)?
reucrrent form-characterized by the crops of vesices at the mucocutaneous junctions of the lips or nose
What is characteristic of encephalitis?
necrotic lesion in the temporal lobe. Fever, headache and seizures
What are the 2 types of HSV-2 diseases?
genital herpes
neonatal herpes
What is characteristic of genital herpes?
painful vesicular lesions on the genitals.
lesions are more severe in primary disease than in recurrences
primary infection present with fever
asymptomatic infections (some people have antibody to HSV-2 but have no history of disease)
