MOD 2 more lectures (Pathology of AIDS/HIV, and Intro to Hematolymphoid neoplasia) Flashcards
AIDS facts
mostly africa, then asia
top three cities for AIDS are Miami, NOLA, baton rouge
risk groups are homo/bi men, IV drugs (sometimes transfusion or newborns with HIV mothers)
AIDS routes of transmission
Sexual (75%)
perenteral (IV drug)
mother to infant
which route of transmission has highest rate of transmission of HIV (highest infectivity rate)?
transfusion of blood products bc highest viral load/conc
Key target of HIV virus?
CD4+
also types of macros bc cells with CD4 receptors
What type of viruses are HIV1/2?
nontransforming human retrovirus of LENTIVIRUS family
HIV-1 virion
2 single stranded copies of RNA
uses RT
has p24 capsid, use to ID (also ab’s to surface glycoprots)
HIV viral attachment and entry?
viral glycoprot gp120 binds CD4+ receptor
-interaction with chemokine receptor (co-receptor, eitehr CCR-5 of CXCR-4) exposes viral gp41(which can penetrate host memb bc lipophilic), membranes fuse and release viral contents into cyto
HIV viral replication
HIV can either remain dormant in host cell (hard to target virus infected cells) or cDNA (DNA synth from viral RNA using RT) can inc into host DNA (progressive infection)
What two things are needed for progressive infection?
actively dividing host cell
integrase (enz encoded by virus to integrate cDNA into host DNA)
What are the 3 stages of the HIV virus
Acute prodromal phase
Chronic stage
Crisis
Acute prodromal phase
nonsepc sx, drop in CD4 cells (T cells destroyed by many diff methods), viremia (widespread dissem of virus)
Chronic stage
clinical latency, no sx, immune cells being repl at same rate, enlarged lymph nodes due to lots of cytokine release
Crisis sx
constitutional sx (fever/chills/night sweats/ wasting) neoplasm, neuro disease, atrophic lymph nodes, opportunistic diseases
What happens to immune cells in HIV infection? Lymphoma?
decr T cell immune surveillance, decr B cell stim, abnormal lymphoid prolif due to cytokine stim (can progress into lymphoma which prod abnormal prots)
What is PGL (persistent generalized lymphadenopathy?)
nodal enlargement in extra-inguinal sites that lasts more than 3 months w/ constitutional sx (eg hepatosplenomeg, anema, hyper Igs)
Histo findings of PGL
- follic hyperplasia (expanded irreg germinal ctr, T cell zone compressed, look like “naked follicles”)
- dissolution of cortical germinal centers: follic DCs are infected, and their lysis causes germ ctr to fall apart (specific to HIV)
- Lymphoid depletion: atrophic, w hyalinized germinal ctr
How can HIV cause cancer?
polyclonal to oligoclonal (few cell lines) to MONOCLONAL (one cell line) prolif
What is HIV assoc NHL (non-hodkins lymphoma?)
30% of aids pts get it, less prevalent w HAART use (highly active antiretroviral tx), B cell phenotype
-path: infxn with HIV causes immunosuppr, promotes infxn of EBV virus, potent mitogen causes prolif o fhost cells, mutations (e.g.. dereg of c-myc protooncogene in EBV, 8:__ transloc)
Subtypes of NHL lymphoma?
Diffuse large B cell lymphoma
Burkitt lymphoma
(both aggro)
Cavity based primary effusion lyphoma
What is cavity based lymphoma related to?
Sx?
EBV and HSV-8
early involvement of pleural spaces
Burkitt lymphoma histo?
Dx?
Lymphoid like cells larger than RBC and have cytoplasm vacuoles
Dx: IHC to confirm lymphoid origin
Kaposi sarcoma classic pres
indolent (slow onset, few sx), skin lesions
AIDS assoc kaposi sarcoma
STI indep of HIV, men
more aggro
HHV-8 and HIV synergise to affect cells of endoth origin, not just skin can inv any organ (lesions are epidermal mucocutaneous, and visceral)
What disease is kaposi sarcoma often associated with?
AIDS
Kaposi sarcoma pathology
rel of cytokines and GFs from infected cells, prolif of endoth cells and angiogen, vascualrize KS lesions
Kaposi sarcoma pathway
PATCH (flat red/purp macula) –> PLAQUE (thickning of patch) –> TUMOR (nodule)
What will biopsy of kaposi sarcoma lesion show>
spindle to epith atypical endoth cells, dilated vasc spaces, leaked or degraded RBCs which can lead to hemosiderin (brown) granules and hyaline bodies, inflam infiltrate
How can HIV promote squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix and anal canal?
synergy between HIV and HPV promotes neoplastic changes
HIV squamous cell carcinoma histo?
characterized by KOLIOCYTES (binucleated raisin nuclei with halo)
What do koliocytes on slides mean?
HPV infection
Viral infections common in AIDS patients (list)
CMV (wtih low CD4 count, owl's eye inclusions) HSV varicela EBV KSHV (HHV-8) etc
Protozoal infections common in AIDS
Toxoplasma gondii (brain)
crytospor
microspor
isospor (latter 3 GI)
