Fever and Rash Viruses Flashcards
molluscum contagiosum structure - nucleic acid
large dsDNA, linear
molluscum contagiosum structure
enveloped, complex morphology, HUGE
molluscum contagiosum replication
replicated in cytoplasm
molluscum contagiosum clinical course
flesh-colored papule with central umbilication (“wart” but not a wart)
molluscum contagiosum treatment
supportive care and IMMUNE RECONSTITUTION (treatment of underlying HIV)
variola (smallpox) structure - nucleic acid
large dsDNA, linear
variola (smallpox) structure
enveloped, complex morphology, HUGE
variola (smallpox) replication
replicated in cytoplasm
variola (smallpox) clinical course
flu-like prodrome, followed by a SYNCHRONOUS vesicular rash (all vesicles in same stage, unlike chicken pox)
variola (smallpox) vaccine
live, attenuated vaccine (not safe for immunocompromised or pregnant)
Mpox (monkeypox) structure - nucleic acid
large dsDNA, linear
Mpox (monkeypox) structure
enveloped, complex morphology, HUGE
Mpox (monkeypox) clinical course
*enanthem (lesions in mouth first sometimes)
*macules to papules to vesicles 1-2 days, then pustules at 5-7 days, then scabs 7-14 days
*rash is PAINFUL
*lesions are firm or rubbery
Mpox (monkeypox) treatment
tecovirimat (TPOXX)
Mpox (monkeypox) vaccine
live non-replicating attenuating virus JYNNEOS
Parvovirus B19 structure - nucleic acid
ssDNA, linear
Parvovirus B19 structure
naked, icosahedral (very small)
Parvovirus B19 entry
receptor is the P antigen on RBCs
Parvovirus B19 clinical complications
1) aplastic crisis in patients with sickle cell (because it causes lysis of progenitor RBCs)
2) hydrops fetalis and fetal anemia, possible spontaneous abortion, in pregnant women
Parvovirus B19 clinical course - kids
childhood exanthem:
*“slapped cheek” or “fifth disease”
*flu-like symptoms
*raised, indurated facial rash, avoiding the mouth
Parvovirus B19 clinical course - adults
rash and ARTHRALGIAS due to immune complexes in skin and joints
dengue virus structure - nucleic acid
ss(+) RNA, linear
dengue virus structure
enveloped, icosahedral
dengue virus epidemiology and transmission
reservoir = monkeys & humans
vector = mosquitoes
dengue virus clinical course
*BREAKBONE FEVER:
-rash
-muscle and joint pain
-retro-orbital headache
-high fever
dengue virus CBC results
thrombocytopenia and leukopenia
