nutrient agar, corn meal agar and SDA
enterococci transmitted by ?
by hands from patient to patient
cause 10% of cases of endocarditis in patients who have undergone GIT or urinary tract surgery or instrumentation
enterococci
Lactobacillus cause in mouth
dental caries
the only parvovirus that causes human disease
Parvovirus B19
parvovirus B19 is transmitted by?
respiratory route, transplacental or by blood transfusion.
diseases caused by parvovirus B19
- Erythema infectiosum in children
- arthritis in adults
Deposition of immune complexes contributes to the pathogenesis of the rash in children and
arthritis in adults. - aplastic crisis in sickle anemia patients
- chronic anemia in immunosuppresed patients
B19 virus preferentially infects and kills the immature red blood cell precursors in the bone marrow. - fetal death due to heart falure from severe anemia
causes erythema infectiosum
Parvovirus B19
causes aplastic crisis in sickle cell anemia patients
Parvovirus B19
causes hydrops foetalis
Parvovirus B19
causes chronic anemia in AIDs patients
parvovirus B19
causes fifth disease
causes sixth disease
parvovirus B19
HH6
morphology of herpes virus
double stranded DNA, icosahedral
causes multinucleated giant cell formation and intranuclear inclusion bodies in infected cells
HSV
Varicella
Epstein Barr virus is transmitted by
infected saliva
pathogenesis of EBV
- EBV is transmitted by infected saliva, and blood tranfusion
- Infection starts in the oropharynx then spreads to the blood where the virus infects B lymphocytes
- Cytotoxic T lymphocytes react against infected B cells, change in morphology and appear as atypical T
lymphocytes in the peripheral blood
cause T lymphocyte to apear as atypical T lymphocytes
EBV
Xlinked lymphoprohferative syndrome
EBV
has a fishy odour
has grape like smell
proteus
pseudomonas
causes corneal ulcer in contacct lens users
pseudomonas
antigens of the Epstein Barr Virus
- viral capsid antigen
- membrane antigen
- nuclear antigen
- early antigen
antigen of EBV which neutralizing
protective antibodies are formed
viral membrance antigen
serologic diagnosis of HSV: detection rise of antibodies titre may be useful in?
Primary infection
