Lytic viruses Flashcards
picornavirus physical properties
iscosahedral, +ssRNA, no lipid envelop, no tegument
poliovirus entry and genome release
injection into cytoplasm (nucleus not involved)
inapparent subclinical poliro
90-95% of infections, asymptomatic, virus from throat or stool
piconavirus diagnosis
isolation in CSF, stool, culture. Serum 4 fold rise in titer. PCR
genome, adenovirus
double stranded, unenveloped genome
picornavirus prevention mechanism Ribavirin
RNA depedent RNA polymerase inhibitors
paralytic poliomyelitis
asymmetric flaccid paralysis, lower extremities especially, bulbar paralysis, slow recovery with residual paralysis
aseptic meningitis, nonparalytic polio
minor progresses to CNS, stiff back and neck, 2-10 days then complete recovery
virus of common cold
rhinovirus
virus associated with gastroenteritis, myocarditis, encephalitis
Parechovirus
adenovirus diease
URI and occular > ecephalitis> GI and LRI > sytemic >genitourinary. 3-10 incubation, 6-9 days diarrhea
picornavirus prevention mechanism ruprintrivir
target protease processing
picornavirus prevention mechanism pleconaril
prevent entry and genome release
Mild polio
minor undifferentiated febrile illness, URI, influenza like
virus associated with paralysis, polio, common cold, meningitis, diarrhea, hand-foot-mout
enteroviruses
