Everything Flashcards
Adenoviruses: Class
Adenovirus
Adenoviruses: Disease(s) Caused
colds, conjunctivitis
Adenoviruses: Enveloped?
Non-enveloped
Adenoviruses: General Epidemiology
stable when dried
Adenoviruses: Incubation Period
3-10 days
Adenoviruses: Transmission Route
airborne
CMV: Chemotherapy
ganciclovir, Foscarnet (PPi analogue)
CMV: Class
Herpesviruses
CMV: Disease(s) Caused
mononucleosis-like, most frequent viral congenital infection
CMV: Enveloped?
Enveloped
CMV: Epidemiology
appears like mononucleosis with negative heterophile test, transmission common in nursery schools, can be post blood transfusion complication, recurrent disease only in immunocompromised
CMV: Disease mechanisms
infected cells large with nuclear inclusion, primary infections before puberty often subclinical,infection of nursing infants is asymptomatic, most frequent viral congenital infection
CMV: Incubation Period
3-12 weeks
CMV: Lab Diagnostics
mononucleosis with negative heterophile test, owl’s eye inclusion bodies
CMV: Pathogenesis
virus can cross placenta to cause congenital disease, latent infected cell type unknown
CMV: Signs & Symptoms
congenital CMV can result in microcephalic mental retardation with intracerebral calcifications, neuro-sensory deafness, jaundice, enlarged liver/spleen, anemia// immunosuppressed get generalized infections, AIDS pts have high incidence of retinitis and gastroenteritis caused by CMV
CMV: Transmission Route
close contact, nasopharyngeal fluid, semen, urine, vaginal secretions
CMV: Vaccines
experimental live virus vaccine
Coxsackie A virus: Class
Picornavirus
Coxsackie A virus: Disease(s) Caused
aseptic meningitis, rash, colds, herpangina, hand-foot-and-mouth disease (children)
Coxsackie A virus: Enveloped?
Non-enveloped
Coxsackie A virus: Epidemiology
stable in environment (daycare problem), large titers shed in feces
Coxsackie A virus: General Epidemiology
seasonal infection (fall highest), leading cause of aseptic meningitis, infects males more often, rarely fatal
Coxsackie A virus: Lab Diagnostics
isolation/cell culture, rising antibody titers, PCR for RNA in CSF (aseptic meningitis cases)
