Lab Diagnosis Flashcards
Viral shedding is greatest when?
During Early stages of infection
Viral culture results can decrease rapidly inhow many days
3
These can be added to prevent tissues from dryinh
Transport media
Saline
Trypticase soy broth
Buffered transport media contain proteins go protect less stable viruses
Albumin
Gelatin
Serum
Thepresence of this will disrupt the host cell and results to loss of viral viability
Ice crystals
What spx can be used to isolate eneteroviruses after the cessation of respiratory shedding
Stool
Major causes of aseptic meningitis
Enteroviruses
4 major methods in to diagnose viral infections
Direct detection
Nucleic acid based detection
Cell cultures
Serologic assays
Not as sensitive as cell culture but can offer quick results for rapid therapy
Direct detection
Bright field microscopy can be used to what virus
Poxvirus
Type of microscopy that is useful to detect non culturable virus
Electron microscope
It is the distinctive and characteristic visual changes in infected cells
Cytopathic effects
CPE can be detected in _____ using bright field
Cell scrapings
Smear that detect cowdry type A bodies
Tzanck smear
Owl eyes is seen in what virus
HSV AND VZV
_________ smear reveal HPV
Papanicolaou
Squamous cells with enlarged nucleus and non staining halo (perinuclear halo)
Koilocytes
Eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions in neurons
Negro bodies
Negro bodies are seen in
Rabies
EIA using multiwell microtiter plates can detect what virus in Respiratory spx Serum or plasma Stool Cutaneous lesions and conjuctival
RSV and influenza A
Hep b virus and HIV -1
Enteric adenovirus
HSV
EIA in single test platforms detects these viruses in
Respiratory spx
Rectal swabs
Serum
RSV, influenzavirus A and B
Rotavirus and enteric adenovirus
West nile fever virus
EIA negative results are confirmed with
Cell culture or IF or nucleic acid based test
This test gives a quantitative result
Nucleic acid based detection
Combination of flow cytometry and PCR for mutiplex detectio
luminex system
Nucleic acid based assay that primarily detects blood pathogens
Gene amplification technique
