Parvovirus B19
What does Parvovirus B19 cause? 4
- Aplastic crisis in sickle cell disease
- “Slapped cheek” rash in children aka erythema infectiosum aka 5th disease
- RBC destruction in fetus leading to hydrops fetalis
- Pure RBC aplasia and rheumatoid arthritis-like symptoms in adults

Viruses (3)
Enveloped**
dsDNA and linear
Smallpox, cowpox, and molluscum contagiosum
Medical importance of HSV-1 (3)
- Oral and genital lesions
- Spontaneous temporal lobe encephalitis
- Keratoconjunctivitis
Medical importance of HSV-2 (2)
- Genital and oral lesions
2. Neonatal herpes
Medical importance of HSV-3 (VZV) 2
What is the most common complication of VZV reactivation?
- Chickenpox and shingles
- Encephalitis and pneumonia (immunocompromised)
Post-herpetic neuralgia
EBV:
Which disease?
Characterized by which symptoms (4)?
Preferentially infects which cells? Which cells are the atypical cells seen on PBS?
Mononucleosis
Characterized by fever, hepatosplenomegaly, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy
Preferentially infects B cells. The atypical cells seen on PBS are actually cytotoxic T cells
How is EBV detected?
What other conditions it is associated with? (3)
- monospot test
2. Hodgkin lymphoma, endemic Burkitt lymphoma, naropharyngeal carcinoma
Medical importance of HZV-5 (CMV)
1. Causes which diseases/disease states? (4)
- Congenital infection
- Mononucleosis
- Pneumonia
- **Retinitis
- CMV is latent in which cells?
- What is the characteristic appearance of CMV infected cells on microscopy?
- Monospot test for CMV
- How is CMV transmitted (3)
- Latent in mononuclear cells
- “Owl eye appearance”
- Monospot negative
- Congenitally, transfusion, and transplant (also sex, saliva, and urine but not really important)
