26
Q

what marks HBV chronic

A

Presence of HBsAg in blood for >6 months

marked by poor IgG response

27
Q

Chronic HBV symptoms

A

SPoradic epidosde of hepatitis
Cirrhosis of the liver
Increased risk for heaptocellular carcinoma (HCC)

28
Q

why would someone get hepatocellular carcinoma because of HBV

A

HBV X gene/protein has tumorigenic potential

29
Q

HBV prevention and control

A

Vaccination
Chronic:
Interferon- alpha therapay
Nucleoside analogs: adefovir, lamivudine, tenofovir

30
Q

what kind of Vaccine is the HBV vaccine

A

First reombinant vacccine for humans

31
Q

Giving the HBV vaccine

A

Multiple inoculations

32
Q

HBV vaccine and chronic infections

A

does not owrk

33
Q

what type of agent is HDV

A

subviral agent

34
Q

commonality of subviral agents

A

rare in human viruses

35
Q

examples of subviral agents

A

HBV and Adeno-associated virus (AAV)

36
Q

what does AAV require to infect

A

adenovirus infection

37
Q

what does HDV require

A

active HBV infection

38
Q

what does the HDV virus encode

A

RNA for a single protein

39
Q

what type of Virus is HCV

A

Flaviviridae

40
Q

Genome of HCV

41
Q

Virion of HCV

42
Q

Proteins of HCV

A

E1&E2: attachment and entry
C: Core
Various non-structural

43
Q

How does HCV genome replicate

A

Genome passed into cytoplasm

44
Q

how does HCV get into cell

A

receptor mediated endocytosis, goes into endosome, lowers pH, pore forms and genome is pussed out into the cytoplasm, but capside never leaves endosome

45
Q

Symptoms of HCV compared to HBV

A

HCV is more mild

46
Q

Disease by HCV

A

Extrahepatic disease

47
Q

extrahepatic disease caused by HCV

A

mixed cryoglobulinemia

48
Q

mixed cryoglobulinemia

A

antibody and virus complexes deposit in other tissures (kidneys) elicitinga an immune response and subseqquent tissue damge

49
Q

treating HCV

A

SEPATIER, treats some denotypes

No Vaccine

50
Q

How does one get HAV

A

ingestion of fecally contaminated food and water

absorbed through intestine and moves to liver via portal system

51
Q

Incubation of HAV

A

15-40 days

52
Q

Symptoms of HAV

A

consistent with hepatitis infection: Maliase, anorexia, vomitiing, jaundice

53
Q

who gets worse HAV infections

54
Q

resolution time of HAV

A

8 weeks post infection

55
Q

Prevention of HAV

56
Q

Vaccine for HAV

A

killed/inactivated

57
Q

response of HAV

A

fecal HAV - 2 weeks
4 week IgM- initatl response
when 12 weeks IgG - cellular mediated

58
Q

what does HEV cause

A

foodborne and waterborne hepatitis

59
Q

Disease of HEV is like

A

similar to that of HAV

60
Q

separating HAV from HEV

61
Q

HEV and pregnant women

A

lifethreatenign

62
Q

PRevention of HEV

A

no prevention, but vaccine under development

63
