Micro Flashcards
Downy cells
seen in EBV pts
- EBV infects B cells, atypical lymphocytes on smear (Tc responding to infxn)
- basophilic w/ foamy cytoplasm
Owl eye inclusions
CMV infection- infects mononuclear cells
can cause pneumonia in transplant pts and can cause esophagitis ( fluconazole non improved pts) OR retinitis ( blindness in days) both in AIDS pts
spindle cells–what type of herpes
kaposi sarcoma
- infects endothelial cells
- vascular tumors
- GI/lungs too
- sexually transmitted
- higher rates in immunocompromised (transplant, HIV/AIDS, MsM)
tx: HAART
heterophile test
EBV
aggultination of sheep and horse rbcs
monospot test
heterophile - mono: CMV OR acute HIV
pharyngitis tx w/ amoxcilling–>full body rash after 1st dose
aminopencillin
NOT ALLERGY
foscarnet
2nd line tx for A resistant HSV OR G resistant CMV retinitis in immunocompromised
- more toxic, pyrophosphate analog (does not need to be in infected cell to be activated)
- can lead to nephrotoxicity, anemia
Gancylvoir SE
nephrotoxicity, BM suppression
increase Cr, drop in CBC #’s
Tznack test used for
HSV1,2, or VZV
looking for mulitnucleated giant cells in vesciles
-not sensitive OR specific
Cowdry inclusions are seen in
cells infected with HSV1,2 OR VZV
increased risk of Burkitts lymphoma, Hodgkins lymphoma, 1 CNS lymphoma in AIDs pts, nasopharyngeal carcinoma
EBV
DNA viruses typical characteristics
- dsDNA (except parvoB19)
- linear (except papilloma, polymavirus [JC], hepadnaB [partially circular]
- icosahedral EXCEPT pox
- replicated in nucleus EXCEPT pox
- those that are enveloped derived from PM EXCEPT herpes

I went to a retro toga party where i drank flavored corona and ate hippy california pickles
retrovirus, toga virus, flavivirus, corona virus, hepe virus, calicvirus, picornavirus
+ssRNA viruses
give PAPP smears and CPR to all hippes
naked viruses:
DNA viruses–PAPP–papilloma, polyma, adeno, pox
RNA viruses– calci, pico, reo, hepe
diarrheal illness that spreads during winter months in daycares
REO virus:
- rotavirus
- dsRNA
- naked virus
- vomiting, diarrea–>electrolyte disturbances
