Infectious Diseases of Skin and MSK - VIRUSES Flashcards
Viral infections of these are often acute, occurring concurrently with signs and symptoms of febrile systemic illness and resolves along with other manifestations of illness
Joint and bone
Viruses may cause arthritis directly by infecting this
Synovium
Viruses may cause arthritis indirectly through this
Host immune-mediated responses
Measles is this type of virus
Rubeola virus - a paramyxovirus
Measles virus has this type of genome
-ssRNA
Measles envelope contains these 2 proteins
Fusion protein (F) and Hemagglutinin (H)
(no neuraminidase)
How many serotypes of Measles are there?
1
(strict human pathogen with a single serotype)
Ulcerated mucosal lesions marked by necrosis, neutrophilic exudate, and neurovascularization seen in Measles
Characterized as clustered, white lesions on the buccal mucosa (opposite the lower 1st and 2nd molars)
Often described as appearing like “grains of salt on a reddish background”
Koplik spots
A chronic degenerative fatal neurologic disease that occurs on average 7 years after an attack of measles, particularly in children who had measles before 2 years of age
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a chronic degenerative fatal neurologic disease that occurs ~7 years after an attack of this
Measles
What is responsible for the rash seen in Measles?
CMI attacking infected endothelial cells
CMI attacking infected endothelial cells is responsible for this symptom seen in Measles
Rash
What is the route of transmission of Measles?
Respiratory droplets, highly contagious
Incubation period of Measles
9-11 days
(standard)
Hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test is used in the diagnosis of this
Measles
Condition with cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, Koplik’s spots (2-3 days after symptoms begin), and a maculopapular rash beginning on the face (3-5 days after symptoms begin)
Measles
The measles vaccine is this type
Live attenuated
This virus does not readily cause detectable cytopathologic effects
URT infection spreads to lymph nodes leading to viremia which in turn leads to the rash
Rubella virus
Primary manifestation of this virus includes rash, fever, and lymphadenopathy
Rash begins on the face, spreading to the abdomen and extremities
Rubella
Do children or adults have a milder disease with rubella?
Children
In Rubella, the appearance of this correlates with appearance of rash (type III)
Antibodies
Appearance of Ab correlates with appearance of rash (type III) with this virus
Rubella
Virus that replicates in the URT leading to viremia and spread to bone marrow
Infection is cytotoxic
Parvovirus B19
Virus that is dependent on mitotically active cells for replication
Viral replication requires factors only available during the S phase and cellular DNA polymerase are required to generate the complement strand
Parvovirus B19
