Hemorrhagic fever viruses Flashcards
mechanism of 2nd infection w/dengue fever
presentation of 2nd infection w/dengue fever
antibodies from 1st dengue fever infection cross-react with new dengue infection; Fc receptor on these antibodies are taken to mononuclear cells where dengue infects!
2nd infections are more sever and can cause dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock sydnrome
most common hantavirus strain WW; disease manifestation?
hantaan virus
hemorrhagic fever and renal syndrome(HFRS)
over 100000 cases in china; 5-10% mortality

hantavirus, sin nombre virus
hantavirus pulmonary syndrome(HPS) - severe pulmonary illness w/fever; acute respiratory distress
transmission of hantavirus
aerosol of urine/feces from rodents
ebola structure/genome
ssRNA(-), helical, enveloped
transmission of:
yellow fever, dengue
hantavirus, lassa virus
yellow fever and dengue - mosquito
hantavirus - rodent urine/feces
lassa - house rat urine/feces
clinical presentation of lassa virus
multi-organ system disease w/fever and hemorrhaging
kinda looks like ebola
