Lecture: D&T 4: Rhino, HCoV, Adeno, Orthomyxo Flashcards
What is the Major cell receptor for RV-A & B? (RV= Rhinovirus group A or B)
ICAM-1
What is the Minor cell receptor for RV-A & B? (RV= Rhinovirus)
(minor = LDL-receptor)
What is the cell receptor for RV-C? (RV= Rhinovirus)
Cadherin related family member 3 (CDHR3)
What is unique about RV replication/transmission among the Picornaviruses? and why?
It does not spread fecally/orally
becuase it is acid labile and can’t replicate in the GI tract
What is unique about RV infection properties among picorna?
It is a local infection with short incubation time
What is RV incubation time
1-2 days
What temp does RV grow
33
When are the Seasonal peak for RV infections? (2)
Sept/Oct, Arpil/May
Majority of summer URTIs are czed by what virus
RV
URTI with RV: what population gets the most and which gets fewest infections?
children- most
adults- fewest
What happens to cells RV infects? HCoV?
RV = no cell death HCoV = cell death
What do RV c infected cells release/ do?
release inflammatory cytokines that recurit neutrophils and Bradykinin –> sore throat
What causes Rhinorrhea?
Increase in vascular permeability-serum leaks into nasal mucosa –> rhinorrhea
What cuases increased mucus secretion in RV infx?
parasympathetic activation of the seromucous glands will increase mucus secretion
What causes mucus change in color
myeloperoxidase enzyme from neutrophils has iron cofactor (does not matter if viral or bacterial)
4 complications of URTI with RV
a. Sinus blockage-80%
b. ~5% get bacterial sinusitis
c. Pressure in middle ear (75%)
d. Acute bacterial otitis media in 1/3 children
2 treatments for RV URTI
a. Vasoconstriction via Alpha-adrenergic agonists
Anticholinergics (activity seen in 1st-Gen antihistamines, NOT 2nd Gen)
What are the implications of wheezing w/ rhinovirus infection before age 3
higher chance of developing asthma
RV infx causes exacerbations of what two conditioins
asthma and COPD
