Q

Mononucleosis path

A

saliva or respiratory secretion -> epithelial cells it replicates viral DNA and form new proteins -> lysis of epithelial cells -> viruses travel to tonsils and attach to B cells via CD21 receptor -> virus enters latent phase and carries virus to other B cells (liver, spleen, lymph nodes) -> B cell make antibodies and CD8 t cells kill B cells

264
Q

Mumps cause

A

mumps virus -> enters cell RNA gets transcribed by viral polymerase -> translated -> viral proteins -> HN and F proteins bind other epithelial cells together

265
Q

Mumps path

A

respiratory droplets -> mumps virus -> enters cell RNA gets transcribed by viral polymerase -> translated -> viral proteins -> HN and F proteins bind other epithelial cells together -> damage to nasopharynx

266
Q

Mumps RF

A

children

267
Q

Mumps comp

A

testicular atrophy, decrease in sperm count and motility

268
Q

Mumps clinical

A

swelling of parotid salivary gland, ear ache, trismus, meningitis, encephalitis, headache, neck stiffness, hearing loss, difficulty w/ balance, orchitis, epididymitis, glomerulonephritis, arthritis, myocarditis, pancreatitis

269
Q

Roseola Infantum def

A

double stranded linear DNA, icosahedral capsid, tegument, viral glycoproteins

270
Q

Roseola Infantum cause

A

Human Herpes Virus 6

271
Q

Roseola Infantum path

A

respiratory droplets -> virus attaches to dendritic cells -> travel to lymph nodes -> CD4 T cells bind and virus infects them -> DNA gets transcribed and translated in CD4 T cells -> viral proteins are made -> packaged and leave cell destroyed -> can infect monocytes, macrophages, NK cells, astrocytes, megakaryocytes, glial cells -> goes into latent state in monocytes
incubation 1-2 week

272
Q

Roseola Infantum RF

A

children 6 month -2 years

273
Q

Roseola Infantum comp

A

encephalitis

274
Q

Roseola Infantum clinical

A

high fever, periorbital edema, acute otitis media, rhinorrhea, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, bulging fontanelle, cervical, occipital or postauricular lymphadenopathy, Nagayama spots -> maculopapular rash

275
Q

Rubella def

A

single-stranded RNA, icosahedral capsid, spherical outer lipid envelope, mRNA

276
Q

Rubella cause

A

rubella virus

277
Q

Rubella path

A

respiratory droplets -> virus binds to receptor on endothelial cells in nasopharynx -> enters the cell -> virus gets surrounded by cell creating an endosome -> viral RNA is uncoated and nucleus, ER, and Golgi apparatus are moved close to it -> virus replicated and make proteins -> surrounded by membrane and exocytose -> spreads to lymphatic and blood vessels -> lymph nodes replicates -> enters urine, CSF, synovial fluid -> infected cells get apoptosis

pregnant female -> through placenta -> congenital rubella syndrome

278
Q

Rubella RF

A

unvaccinated, coming in contact w/ someone

279
Q

Rubella comp

A

congenital rubella syndrome (sensorineural hearing loss, cataracts, retinopathy, damage to retina, patent ductus arteriosus, dermal extramedullary hematopoiesis, intellectual disability, behavioral disorders, skin lesions, DM< enlarged liver and spleen)

280
Q

Rubella clinical

A

asymptomatic
14 after incubation: children have fever, swelling of lymph nodes, pink macules rash spread to trunk and extremities
teen and adult: arthralgia, arthritis,

281

Scarlet Fever def

A

infection leading to bright red skin rash

282
Q

Scarlet Fever cause

A

streptococcus pyogenes

283
Q

Scarlet Fever path

A

erythrogenic toxin -> a consequence of local production of inflammatory mediators and alteration of the cutaneous cytokine and dilatation of blood vessels, intrapapillary hemolysis

284
Q

Scarlet Fever RF

A

close contact with another person with scarlet fever, >3

285
Q

Scarlet Fever comp

A

exudative pharyngitis, fever, and bright-red exanthem

287
Q

Toxoplasmosis cause

A

toxoplasma gondii

288
Q

Toxoplasmosis path

A

ingestion of oocytes -> oocyst wall dissolved by proteolytic enzymes in stomach/SM I -> frees sporozoites from w/in oocyst -. parasites invade intestinal epithelium surrounding cells -> differentiation into tachyzoites -> replicate inside vacuoles until host cell rupture -> release tachyzoite to tissues -> host immune response-> tachyzoite turn into bradyzoites (semi-dormant) inside host cells

289

A

consumption of raw/undercooked meat, ingestion of contaminated water, soil, vegs, previvor’s blood transfusion, organ transplant, transplacental transmission
