Q

Human Herpes Viruse and Latency

A
  • after primary infection it replicates in epithelial cells
    -eventually becomes latent in host cells in 2 ways:
    1. DNA circularizes and exists as an episome
    2. DNA integrates into host cell genome

Chickenpox

A

-caused by herpesviridae family
-varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV)
-initial exposure=chickenpox
-virus remains latent in the dorsal root ganglia
-re-emerges later in life in about 20% of patients, which causes shingles
-shingles occurs more frequently in older individuals(cell-mediated immunity decreases)
-chickenpox and shingles are usually diagnosed clinically, but antibody and DNA tests can also be used to detect the virus

Q

How do you get chickenpox

A

-inhaling of infected particles from skin lesions
-virus replicates in the nasopharynx and infects the regional lymph nodes, leading to viremia
-second round of viral replication takes place in the liver and spleen(followed by a secondary viremia 14-16 days postinfection)
-VZV invades capillary endothelial cells and the deepest layer of the epidermis
-produces fluid accumulation and vesicle formation

Herpes (cold Snores and Genital Herpes)

A

-herpes simplex viruses 1 & 2 (HSV-1 [cold sore]and HSV-2[genital sores])
-Infect skin and mucous membranes( able to infect the central nervous system)(Occasionally can infect the visceral Organs)
-Transmitted by direct contact and replicates and mucosal surfaces or epidermis (final destination is neuronal cell in the ganglia, where the virus becomes latent)
-Primary Infection may be subclinical or symptomatic
