Q

What is the pathology of smallpox?

A

2 routes of infection: 1: inhaled, virus infects respiratory mucosa, penetrates and enters blood stream, infection internal organs, release visions to infect skin (leading to focal lesions). 2: skin infected, particles collect and replicate in the epidermis forming merciless first in head then extremities, host immune response makes vesicles, crust forms and releases infectious particles

Clinical presentation fo HSV-2?
genital herpes or neonatal herpes
27
Pathology of HSV-2?
Virus invades mucous membranes leading to primary local infection, becoming latent in sensory ganglia
28
What is another complication of HSV-2?
Pregnant mother can transfer the virus to fetus through placenta or during delivery, leading to congenital defects, abortion, or neonatal encephalitis
29
Diagnosis of HSV-2?
detection of virus, multinucleate giant cells on Tzanck smear, eosinophilic cowry intranuclear inclusion bodies on skin biopsy
30
Treatment of HSV-2?
acyclovir, prevention (C section in infected mothers)
31
Clinical presentation of Roseolovirus (HHV6 and 7)
Exanthem subitum (sixth disease), reaction can occur in organ transplant pts leading to encephalitis, bone marrow suppression, pneumonitis
32
Pathology of Roseolovirus?
Usually in children 3 mos-3 yrs, transmitted through aerosols leading to an acute febrile illness, fine maculopapular rash on neck and trunk after fever.
33
When does roseolovirus peak?
Usually in the spring
34
How do you diagnose roseolovirus?
Clinical presentation, ELISA or indirect immunoflourescence
35
Treatment of roseolovirus?
ganciclovir
36
What are patients with Epstein-barr virus at risk for?
A rupture of their spleen due to splenomegaly
37
clinical presentation of epstein-barr virus
infectious mononucleosis, limpoid organ-related cancers: Burkitt's lymphoma, nasopharyngeal cancer
38
What is the pathology of Epstein-barr virus?
transmitted via saliva/respiratory, infects oropharynx epithelium, infects B cells where it remains latent as episomal DNA, they then transform and multiply, creating an immune response to B cells that leads to enlarged lymph nodes and spleen
39
What is the diagnosis of Epstein-barr infection?
monospot test (detects heterophil antibody), blood smear, detection of certain antibodies (Anti-EBV IgM and IgG)
40
Treatment of epstein-barr virus
acyclovir in severe cases
41
what is a complication of Parvovirus B19?
chronic severe enemia
42
What is the clinical presentation of Parvovirus B19
erythema infectiosum, transit aplastic anemia crisis
43
Pathology of Parvovirus B19?
Infects nasal cavity, 6 days incubation, lysis erythroid precursor cells in bone marrow, immune complexes form leading to slapped cheeks
44
Diagnosis of parvovirus B19?
detect viral DNA, serology
45
Treatment of parvovirus B19
supportive, RBC transplant, in immunocompromised individuals: Ig transfer
46
What is coxsackievirus A and B also known as?
hand-foot-and-mouth disease
47
Clinical presentation of coxsackie A?
Herpangia, hand-foot-and-mouth disease, aseptic meningitis, paralysis, upper respiratory tract infection
48
clinical presentation of coxsackie B
pleurodynia myocarditis, pericarditis, aseptic meningitis, paralysis, upper respiratory tract infection
49
Pathology of coxsackie A and B?
Infected via aerosols or fecal oral route, virus travels to GI, virus spreads through blood stream, infecting and lysing skin and mucosal epithelium (group A), Group B travels to heart and pleural surfaces, both can travel to meninges and anterior motor neurons to cause meningitis and paralysis
50
Diagnosis of coxsackie
Isolate virus, serology
51
Treatment of coxsackie
symptomatic infections, anti-inflammatory agents, 0 antiviral or vaccines
52
Clinical presentation of ECHO virus
Acute febrile illness often in male children, non-specific exanthem
53
Pathology of ECHO virus
Fecal-oral route, salivary aerosols, can be fatal to neonates, myocarditis in adults, sometimes just non-specific illness with fever, possibly rash that spreads from face down neck and upper extremities
54
Treatment of ECHO virus
supportive, pleconaril
55
What are the two most common reasons for measles hospitalizations?
respiratory tract infections, pneumonia
56
What is the clinical presentation of measles virus?
Rubeola, flue-like symptoms, Koplik's spots followed by a rash, encephalitis, subacute sclerosing panaencephalitis
57
Pathology of measles virus
Spread via aerosol droplets, infects and destroys epithelial cells, first and secondary viremia infecting other areas of body. infection promotes inflammation of capillaries leading to Koplik's spots and rash
58
Diagnosis of the measles virus
Isolate virus from nasopharyngeal secretions, blood, urine. Warthin-Finkeldey cells in respiratory secretions, Serology.
59
Treatment of measles
Vaccine of a live-attenuated virus in the MMR vaccine, sever cases in infants treated w/ high doses of vitamin A
60
Clinical presentation of Rubella Virus
Fever followed by descending rash, congenital rubella: congenital malformations (deafness, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary artery stenosis, cataracts, microencephaly)
61
Pathology of rubella virus
Transmitted through aerosols, infects nasopharynx, replicates in local lymph node. Spreads via bloodstream, Ab reaction leads to maculopapular rash starting in face and going to extremities. Can cross placenta during first trimester and infect fetus
62
Diagnosis of rubella virus
detection of anti-rubella Abs, IgM if recent infection, IgG if immune. Virus in amniocentesis indicates congenital rubella.
63
Treatment of rubella virus
self-limiting (no anti-viral), Vaccine (MMR)
64
Clinical presentation of west nile virus
Fever, fatigue, headache, myalgia, anorexia, eye pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash. Neuroinvasive disease that can cause encephalitis or meningitis
65
Pathology of west nile virus
Spread via mosquitos, birds, humans, Replicates in langerhans cells which go to lymph nodes and subsequent infection of multiple organs including CNS
66
Diagnosis of west nile virus
IgM Ab in serum or CSF, PCR of the CSF
67
Treatment of west nile virus
None: supportive, prevent mosquito bites
