Q

Picornaviridae pathogenesis (general)
-where does the virus shed?

A

Enterovirus replication in the OROPHARYNX

Then primary VIREMIA

TARGET TISSUE
-liver = HAV = Hepatitis
-Meninges = Echo, polio, Coxsackie = Meningitis
-brain = Polio, Coxsackie = Encephalitis or paralytic disease
-muscle = Echo, CAV & CBV = heart or thorax = myocarditis or Pleurodynia
-skin = Echo, CAV = (HFMD) = Rash

Then secondary VIREMIA

Q

Acute Hemorrhagic Congunctivitis
-caused by?

A
  • KNOWN AS “PINK EYE”
    -CAV (Enterovirus)
    -lid swelling
    -mucoid discharge becomes watery
    -photophobia
    -rapid incubation (sudden onset in ONE eye)
    -results in EPIDEMICS (highly contagious)

Q

Diagnosing of CAV!
-how would you diagnose the difference between/w Herpangina vs. HSV diagnosis

A

Clinically
*Herpangina = generally causes ulcers in the BACK portion of the mouth (soft palate)
*HSV = ulcers in the hard palate, gums, tongue

Q

Adenovirus
-capsid
-genome
-envelope
-how do Adenoviruses differentiate between Enteroviruses?

A

-Icosahedral
-dsDNA
-naked
-Adenovirus = dsDNA vs. Enterovirus = (-) ssRNA
The enteroviruses are a genus of the family picornaviruses and can infect the intestinal tract and shed the virus into feces w/o causing GI diseases. Adenoviruses is a family and causes GI infections

Q

Adenovirus transmission

A

-aerosols

Q

Adenovirus pathogenesis

A

-virus infects mucoepithelial cells (URT, GI, conjunctiva)
-virus Persists in lymph nodes (Peyer patches, adenoids, tonsils)
-Latent infection (reactivation on immunosuppressed patients)

17
Q

URT infection caused by adenovirus
-symptoms

A

-caused by adenovirus
-fever
-sore throat
-cough
-headache
-NO conjunctivitis

18
Q

Adenoviral conjunctivitis
-serotypes
-symptoms

A

-types 1-11
-Adenovirus infection can cause both
-palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva

19
Q

Pharyngoconjuctival fever
-caused by and what type of
-symptoms

A

-combo of adenovirus URT infection and Conjunctivitis
-caused by type 3 of adenovirus
-fever, malaise, cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, follicular conjunctivitis (one or both eyes)

20
Q

Epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC)
-caused by what serotypes of what virus
-initial symptoms & others
-heals?

A

-Adenoviruses serotypes 8,9,19,37

-MULTIFOCAL SUBEPITHELIAL INFILTRATES pathognomonic for adenoviral infections scene in chronic phase of EKC after initial symptoms present
-acute onset of watery discharge. (Initial)
-pain (initial)
-conjunctival injection (red eyes) (initial)
-photophobia
-SUBCONJUNCTIVAL HEMORRHAGE (broken blood vessel in the eye)
-keratitis (corneal inflammation)

-heals after 2 months w/o scaring

** important to note: Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis vs. subconjunctival hemorrhage: acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (pink eye- caused by CAV which is from the genus of enteroviruses which is from the family of Picornaviruses) Subconjunctival hemorrhage (broken vessel in the eye) is an initial symptom from epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) which can be caused by the family of adenoviruses**

21
Q

Pathognomonic for adenoviral infections of Keratoconjunctivitis

A

Multifocal subepithelial infiltrates (SEIs)
-hallmark for a chronic phase of EKC
can be seen in EKC - epidemic Keratoconjunctivitis

22
Q

Respiratory and GI infections
-what virus
-what serotypes
-causes

A

-adenovirus- serotypes 4 and 7 most common

-URT - bronchitis = atypical walking pneumonia = ARDS
ARDS = respiratory distress syndrome = fluid in the lungs at a chronic level vs. pneumonia
atypical pneumonia is caused by a different bacteria than pneumonia and its also a milder form

-GI - enteric adenoviral infection = infant diarrhea also known as gastroenteritis (watery diarrhea)
enteric adenoviral infection is 3rd common cause of gastroenteritis. 1st= rotavirus & norovirus

common causes of most serious URT infections

23
Q

Adenovirus diagnosis

A

-clinically
-LFA= test eyes for conjunctivitis
-PCR = typing of serotypes, and only after symptoms are present

24
Q

Adenovirus treatment AND prevention

A

Treatment
*Supportive care
-lubricating the eyes
-topical steroids to reduce eye swelling
-fluids (GI)

Prevention
- Vaccine w/ types 4 and 7 (used in for military personnel ONLY)

common causes of most serious URT infections

25
Q

What serotypes of the adenovirus causes URT and GI infections?

A

Serotypes 4 and 7
