A

EBV but must distinguish from toxoplasma

26

29
Q

HIV: tuberculosis-like disease with CD4

A

mycobacterium avium

30
Q

prophylaxis for HIV

A

TMP-SMX for anything >50. add azithromycin for

31
Q

Four classes of drugs used in HAART?

A

Protease inhibitors, Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor, Integrase Inhibitors

32
Q

What combo of drugs are needed in HIV?

A

2 NRTIs + 1 of the others (pick one)

33
Q

name of the protease inhibitors

A

-navir (Navir tease a protease)

34
Q

mech of protease inhibs

A

inhibs the protease function of pol to make functional components of HIV

35
Q

Ritonavir toxicity

A

inhibits p-450

36
Q

general toxicity of protease inhibitors

A

hyperglycermia, GI intolerance, lipodystrophy

37
Q

toxicity of indinavir

A

nephropathy, hematuria

38
Q

NRTI names (7)

A

(-vudine) Lamivudine, Zidovudine, Stavudine

(and others) Tenofovir, Abacavir, Emtricitabine, Didanosine

39
Q

NRTI work how?

A

lack 3’ OH so they are chain terminators. they are nucleosides so they require phosphorylation

40
Q

which NRTI doesn’t require phosphorylation?

A

Tenofovir (it is a nucleotide)

41
Q

which NRTI is used in pregnancy to prevent fetal transmission?

A

ZDV (zidovudine)

42
Q

NRTI tox

A

bone marrow suppresion, peripheral nueopathy, lactic acidosis, rash

43
Q

NNRTI mechanism

A

bind RT at non active site and thus don’t need phospho (they aren’t nucleosides)

44
Q

NNRTIs names

A

nevirapine, Efavirenz, Delavirdine

45
Q

Integrase inhibitors name and mech

A

Raltegravir. inhibs HIV integrase

46
Q

Raltegravir tox

A

hypercholesterolemia

47
Q

copies of genome in HIV

A

diploid RNA
