MOUTH nonNF path Flashcards
Mumps virus
paramyxovirus: env. -ssRNA–>syncyteal formation
mumps epi
summer/fall, kids 5-15, POE-RT, asymp. inf. carriers
adults: subclin/resp. only symps, kids 2–>9: classic disease
mumps path
RT, long incub. period (18d ave, 12–>29d)
replicates in nasal passages/URT/local LNs–>primary viremia–>spreads (circ) to all maj. organs but targets gland. tiss and CNS
infects epi cells and kidneys–>viruria occurs (det. 14 days)–>sec. viremia
viral rep–>syncytia formation–>necrosis of host cells–>mononuclear infiltrate/edema
virus shed from salivary gland in droplet nucl. (2 wks, 1 wk pre symps–>1 wk after sal gld swell) in urine up to 2 wks
*1/3 inf. are asymptomatic (but still inf.)
mumps immuno
lifelong immunity
Abs neutralize virus (appear during convalescent or after imm (IgM, then IgG)
CMI likely involved
mumps s/s/prodrome
flu-like: low/mod fever, ha, malaise, loss of app for 2 days
swelling w/ pain of 1/both parotid glands near jaw w. pain w. chew/swall/eating acid food
why vaccinate for mumps
complications:
CNS inf.: rare, –>meningitis (10-50%), encephalitis, CSF pleocytosis (50-60%)
(other complications, flip further)
mumps may cause epididymo-orchitis
most common 10-40%
often unilat, painful, testicular inflamm
postpub adoles. >=13, rarely results in sterility, but may if testic. necrosis
mumps may cause oophoritis +/- mastitis
uncommon,
mumps may also cause..
pancreatitis (abd. pn, vom)
spontaneous abortion
deafness (perm. nerv damage, not unusual)
arthritis
thyroiditis
myocard. inf
neurological cond (facial palsy, Guillain-Barre synd)
mumps dx
s/s
det. of virus from saliva/urine (viral cx or RT-PCR)
enzyme immunoassay (det. IgM, IgG Abs against virus) IgM rises during prodromal phase, pks 7 days
blood: low WBC, high serum protein amylase
mumps tx
NO ASA, hot/cold packs on cheeks over parotids
ppx: vaccination (15-18 mos)
Herpesvirus
env. ds DNA (fried egg on EM) encodes own thymidine kinase* or sim. enz.–>activates herpes antivir. agent in hum. cell–>termination of DNA chain rep. in inf. cell
HHV class.
1–>8, 3 groups
*humans are sole host/resevoir
hallmark of HHV
latency, life-long (that shit sticks with you)
site varies
HSV1 vs HSV2
both have sim Ag. but env. glycoprotein B (gB) is Ag distinct and blood test can differentiate inf. btw 2 types (gB1 and gB2, resp.)
HSV1 site
oral/oropharyngeal lesions in children–>adults
milder than 2
HSV2 site
genital (60-85% HSV2) (dist. is blurred)
ww distr. HSV
60-90% seropositive! 85-95% primary/initial oral inf. are asymp.
