what virus causes the influenza

orthomyxovirus

4 contraindications to influenza vaccine

- < 6 mo old - severe egg allergy - previous rxn - guillain barre w.in 6 weeks of previous vaccination OR w.in past 6 weeks

contraindication for flumist flu vaccine

asthma

gs dx for influenza (2)

RT-PCR OR viral culture

CXR findings in primary influenza

bilateral diffuse infiltrates

are false positives or false negatives more common w. rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDT)

false negatives

which antivirals treat influenza A and B

oseltamivir zanamivir *best w.in 48 hr of sx onset*

5 indications for antiviral tx w. influenza

hospitalized outpt w. severe/progressive sx > 65 yo pregnant/2 weeks postpartum lots of comorbidities

what virus causes measles

paramyxovirus

3 phases of measles

prodrome: 3 c's enathem: koplik spots exanthem: morbilliform, maculopapular, blanching rash

what are the 3 c's of measles

cough coryza conjunctivitis PLUS fever

what is this showing

irregularly-shaped bright red spots in the mouth w. bluish white central dot -> koplik spots

how does the measles rash spread

cephalocaudally

clinical dx of measles requires (2)

fever x >/= 3 days PLUS at least one of the 3 c's or koplik spots

gs dx for measles

IgM abs viral PCR

management of measles (2)

isolation x 1 week after rash onset symptomatic

4 complications of measles

otitis media PNA diarrhea encephalitis

5 yo w. acute onset of painful swollen parotid glands - temp 100.8

3 different presentations of mumps

parotitis orchitis aseptic meningitis

incubation period of mumps

12-14 days

hallmark symptom of mumps

bilateral parotitis

mcc of pancreatitis in children

mumps

dx of mumps is usually made by

hx of exposure PLUS parotitis

2 diagnostic tests for mumps

saliva/blood test real-time nested PCR

lab finding suggestive of mumps

elevated amylase (from parotitis)

2 CSF findings of mumps

lymphocytosis decreased glucose
