Mononucleosis syndromes Flashcards
immunocompromised pt with CMV: Latently infected 1) contact activated T cells and differentiate into macrophages that produce infectious virus
1) monocytes
microcephaly, chorioretinitis
CMV manifestations in infants:
EBV pathogenesis–>Once B-cells are infected, three things can happen: 1) where the virus replicates in B-cells; ends up in the 2);
1) Lytic infection 2) SALIVA
Seroconversion and presence of IgM
CMV in immunocompetent
Symptomatic illness = hepatosplenomegaly, jaundice, anemia, thrombocytopenia, low birth weight, microcephaly, chorioretinitis
CMV manifestations in infants:
Lymphomas in immunocompromised patients: s/s
Persistent fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly
infects macrophages
CMV
CMV manifestations in infants: Fetal damage most likely in 1)
1) 1st trimester
Latent CMV in:
Monocytes
Diagnosis of CMV in Immunocompromised
• Viral antigen or DNA in blood • Inclusions or viral antigen in diseased tissue
EBV and Immunity: Capacity to limit proliferation of EBV-infected B cells
Memory T cells
EBV Not good correlation between titer and disease severity
Heterophile antibodies
African Burkitt Lymphoma genetics:
Translocations in B cells = c-myc oncogene and Ig heavy or light loci
protein-filled region; houses Enzymes and proteins required immediately for viral replication
Tegument; refers to EBV
EBV and Immunity: 1)–> Inc. circulating T-cells b/c activated in response to virus-infected B cells
1) Atypical lymphocytosis
Teenagers and young adults
EBV
Cytomegalovirus family and subfamily:
herpesvirus family β-herpesvirus subfamily
Diagnosis of CMV in Congenital infection Culture or 1) positive at birth or within 1-2 weeks
1) viral DNA assay
EBV–> Outside of viral particle covered by 1)
1) lipoprotein envelope
Perinuclear cytoplasmic inclusions
CMV
EBV and Lymphoproliferative Disease: Endemic in southern China
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
CMV in bone marrow transplants:
interstitial pneumonia leading cause of death
Only used in heterophile antibody negative cases
Serologic tests
Large viral genome = 125-240 kb encoding 75 viral proteins
EBV
Close personal contact Sexual contact Congenital infections Isolated from saliva, cervical secretions, semen, urine, WBCs for months to years after infection
CMV
heterophile antibody–> Sera from 1) agglutinate RBCs from 2)
1) patients 2) sheep and horses
CMV in immunocompetent vs. immunocompromised
Immunocompetent = clinical disease from primary infection, if at all; mostly asymptomatic; Immunocompromised = primary infection and reactivation symptomatic
CMV on histo hallmark
Nuclear inclusions = owl eye cells
