A

HAV vaccine, proper hand washing and cooking

24
Q

what is the treatment for acute liver failure?

A

transplant

25
Q

where do outbreaks of HAV usually occur?

A

in moderately developed countries where young children have not been exposed, but vaccination is also not widespread

26
Q

how did the hepatitis A virus outbreak occur in North America?

A

frozen strawberries imported from Egypt

27
Q

HAV survives mild ____ and exposure to _____

A

pasteurization

high temperatures

28

there was HAV contamination in Nature’s Touch Organic Berry Cherry Blend in canada’s Costco stores?

29
Q

what are the symptoms of HAV effects on the liver?

A

nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain

30
Q

how does HAV travel to the liver?

A

initially infection generally occurs in the intestine, but then HAV enters the bloodstream

31
Q

what cells can HAV multiply in, once in the liver?

A

hepatocytes

32
Q

HAV is excreted in ____ towards the end of the incubation period?

A

feces

33
Q

how is HAV diagnosed?

A

through the detection of IgM antibodies in the blood - IgM is only present following acute HAV infection

34
Q

what does the presence of IgG mean in HAV infection?

A

that the acute phase has passed, and the person is immune to further infection

35
Q

what is Norovirus (NoV)?

A

the most common cause of gastroenteritis, worldwide

36

non-bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain

38
Q

what is the typical recovery period of Norovirus?

A

1-3 days

39
Q

what are the characteristics of Norovirus?

A

positive-sense RNA, non-enveloped

40
Q

how is norovirus transmitted?

A

airborne transmission due to vomiting. Virus found in vomit and germs can infect other people.

41
Q

how long can people be contagious for with Norovirus?

A

for as long as 2 weeks after recovery

from a single infected person

45
Q

what are the characteristics of Rotavirus?

rotaviruses are the most common cause of ____ among infants and young children

A

diarrheal disease

47
Q

what age group is Rotavirus mortality rate highest?

A

children younger than 5 years - mainly in Africa

Q

what is the significance of the Rotavirus vaccine?

A

licensed for use in 1998 and was thought to be 80-100% effective in preventing severe diarrhea. however, the vaccine was removed from the market in 1999 because it increased the risk of intussusception (type of bowel obstruction) in one in every 12,000 cases. a new vaccine was administered in 2006

49
Q

what are the overall symptoms of Rotavirus?

A

nausea, vomiting, watery diarrhea and low-grade fever

50
Q

what is the incubation period of Rotavirus in children?

A

approximately 2 days, and then symptoms. period of illness is acute

51
Q

what are the starting symptoms of Rotavirus?

A

vomiting, followed by four to eight days of profuse diarrhea

52
Q

what is the most common cause of death from Rotavirus?

A

dehydration from diarrhea
