Hepatitis Flashcards
Clinical
Primary Acute phase= systemic = flu like (fever and myalgia)
Add’l = Jaundice, dark urine (bilirubinuria), light stools (decreased bile), itch, hepatosplenomegaly, increased AST and ALT
Flaviviridae: Yellow Fever Virus Clin
Hepatitis. Mild to severe (GI hemo and black emesis). Progression to include infection of kidneys and liver (likes fixed macrophages)
Flaviviridae: Yellow Fever Virus char
ss pos sense RNA virus; enveloped
Infects dendritic cells, macrophages, monocytes and hepatocytes
Flaviviridae: Yellow Fever Virus Res

Leptospira Interogens Clinical
Leptospirosis. Asymp to mild hepatitis. May progress to severe hemorrhagic disease.
Leptospira Interogens Char
Gram neg spirochete with bent ends
Leptospira Interogens VF
Hyaluronidase
Leptospira Interogens Res
Animals; survive in water/soil up to 3 months
Leptospira Interogens Trans
Direct/Indirect
Leptospira Interogens RF
Exposure to animal urine and water sports
Leptospira Interogens Diag
Paired sera; darkfield microscopy; PCR; Elisa; Agglutination
Leptospira Interogens Prvt
Rodent Control
Leptospira Interogens Comp/Seq
Well’s disease = Kid fail (increased creatinine)
Viral Cytopathology HAV and HEV
Both lack an envelope; stable in enviro (fecal oral). Cytopath = lytic so constantly provide extracell targets for IR. Generally no comp/seq or chronicity
Viral Cytopathology HBV and HCV
Both have envelope; not stable in enviro so body fluids required. Cytopath = budding and CTL/NK removal of infected cells. If inadequate IR = chronicity and clinical progression to cirrhosis and hepatocell carcinoma
Viral Cytopathology HDV
Defective virus; has an envelope. Can’t replicate w/o HBV
Picornaviridae: HAV Clin
Hepatitis. Enterically transmitted. IP=28 days. Dur = 2wks to 3 months. No chronic
