Measles and such Flashcards
Prescribe MMR vaccine for patients. Diagnose measles and mumps. Describe the pathogenesis of congenital rubella. Differentiate variola, vaccinia, and other pox viruses. Diagnose parvovirus infection.
morphology of measles virus
enveloped, negative sense, single stranded RNA virus with 6 structural proteins
location of measles replication
cytoplasm
giant cells indicitve of
measles
transmisson of measles
respiratory droplets
tract of infection of measles
resp tract –> lymphatics –> spleen –> blood stream
measles virus infects what tissues
all epithelial cell surfaces
abrupts onset of illness with cough, coryza, rhinorrhea, photophobia, and conjuctivitis
measles
lesions on buccal mucosa with red halo (koplik’s spots)
measles
koplik spots precede measles rash how long?
12-24 hours
maculopapular lesions
measles
sickest day of measles
day rash appears
causes measles rash
T-cell response to measles virus antigens in endothelial cells of skin capillaries
measles complications
giant cell pneumonia encephalitis SSPE atypical measles secondary bacterial pneumoia
fatal , non rash measles complication in people with defective cell mediated immunity
giant cell pneummonia
CNS issue, myoclonic jerks, photophobia, blindness, coma 6-15 years after measles infection
SSPE
conplication form killed measles virus
atypical measles
where you can grow measles virus
monkey kidneys or human cell cultures
easiest and efficient way to confirm measles
immunoflouracense assay for in cells harvested from mucus, urine, and skin biopsies
giant cells on giemsa stain
measles
treatment for early exposure to measles
pooled immunolobulin or vaccination witin 2/3 days of exposure
acute, painful parotitis
mumps
paramyxoviruses
measles/mumps
out of respiratory sites of mumps
testes, meningies, pancreas and ovaries
where you can row mumps virus
monkey kidneys
