Q

When do you give the measles vaccine?

A

9mo-1 year

Live, attenuated vaccine - therefore babies who have mom’s Abs might not have right response

Q

Mumps symptoms

A

Swollen neck!!
Parotid gland
1 sided - may spread bilateral

17
Q

Mumps genome

A
(-) ss RNA
Capsid w/ 
- Hemagglutinin (H)
- Neuraminidase (N)
- Fusion protein (F)
Lipid bilayer from host cells
18
Q

Mumps pathogenesis - where does infection start and move

A

Start @ URT epi
to LN
Viremia -> glandular tissue (scrotum)

19
Q

Which branch of immunity controls mumps infection?

A

Cellular

20
Q

Mumps transmission

A

Resp drops
Saliva
Fomites

21
Q

Mumps incubation

A

2-3 wks

Longer than measles

22
Q

When is mumps contagious?

A

2 days before jaw swelling –> 5 days after

23
Q

Which CNS disease is associated with mumps?

A

Aseptic meningitis

24
Q

Mumps complications

A

Encephalitis
Deafness
Infertility

25
Q

Mumps vaccine. Who don’t you give this to?

A

Live, attenuated
As MMR/V
DONT give to PREGNANT

26
Q

Rubella symptoms

A

Head –> toes : disappears as it progresses
- Correlates w/ appearance of Abs
Cervical swollen LN
Arthritis - esp adults

27
Q

Rubella genome

A

+ ssRNA

28
Q

Rubella pathogenesis

A

URT epi
LNs
Viremia

29
Q

What is the role of Abs vs cell immunity for rubella?

A

Ab: limit spread
Cell: elim infection

30
Q

Rubella incubation & infectious period

A

2-3 wk incubation

Infectious: prodome –> 2 wks post rash

31
Q

What is congenital rubella syndrome?

A
In BABIES :(
Cataracts
Heart disease
Deafness
"Blue berry muffin rash"
32
Q

Why do we vaccinate vs rubella?

A

To cover women who might become pregnant to prevent congenital rubella syndrome

33
Q

Parvovirus symptoms - correlation to infectiousness

A
  1. Fever due to viremia = infectious

2. Slap check rash = erythema infectiousum

34
Q

Parvovirus genome

A

ss DNA

35
Q

What cells does parvo replicate in?

A

Erythroid precursors

Fetal capillary endothelium in placenta

36
Q

Parvo patho

A

Replicates @ RT

Viremia –> bone marrow

37
Q

Secondary diseases that might result from parvo

A

Arthritis
Anemia - duh, infecting blood precursors!
Non-immune fetal hydrops !!
Myocarditis
