Hemorrhagic virals Flashcards
What does all hemorrhagic viruses have in common?
Damage microvasculature leads to INC permeability
Mosq, Truncal rash, LAD, Tourniquet test indicates
DF (DHF or DSS)
HF involving Ticks/livestock?
Crimean/Congo HF
What does a saddleback fever mean and for what infection?
Fever abates for a day then returns and it means this is the time you can develop DHF or DSS
YF transfers from acute to remit (1d) to toxic phase
Is there a vaccine available for yellow fever?
Yes 1937

How long is E/M recovery?
months
TXT Lassa w/
Ribavirin w/in 6D
aggressive support
TXT Hantavirus w/
Fluids/Lytes
Support
RIbavarin
3 phases of YF
Acute (3D)
Remit (1D - saddleback)
Toxic phase
How often to monitor HCT w/ DF?
Q3-4hr
Are humans a natural reservoir for VHFs?
No
Swollen baby syndrome is due to what infection and causes what?
Lassa

isolation
support- fluids and nutrition
human convalescent plasma
Flaviviridae
Dengue
Yellow Fever
Are hemorrhagic fever viruses DNA or RNA?
RNA
Where does the YF virus replicate?
Overwhelms immune sys by Reticuloendothelial sys affecting liver (jaundice)
What is the Tourniquet test for and how is it performed?
To test Dengue fever
Inflate BP cuff in upper arm between SBP and DBP and hold for 5m. POS= 20 petechiae per square inch
What are important lab findings of E/M?
Metabolic acidosis and INC Bun/Creatinine
Complications of Lassa

Deafness (MC)
What precedes shock w/ DF?
Rise in HCT by 20 percent
What are a common PE findings of E/M?
INC HR and RR
Ghost like faces is a late finding of what infection?
E/M
Two forms of yellow fever are?

LASSA
What labs are low w/ DF
WBC - end of febrile phase
PLT
Na (MC- metabolic change)
Albumin - Sign of hemoconc
The significance of HCT w/ DF
INC 20 percent = hemoconcentration = oozing plasma
DEC 10 percent = significant hemorrhage = bleeding
