Neuro Virus Flashcards
Rabies virus family
Rhabdo- negative ssRNA virus with enveloped helical capsid that carries an RNA dependent RNA polymerase
rabies transmission
saliva
number 1 carrier of rabies in KY
skunk
two types of rabies
encephalic or paralytic
rabies vaccine (Pasteur)
inactivated vaccine from neural tissue, which can lead to anti-myelin issues
rabies vaccine US
inactive or whole killed vaccine from chicken or duck eggs. 0,7,21,28 schedule- less issues
who gets rabies PEP
vets, researchers, endemic country travelers to countries with the spinal cord vaccine
Tick Vector Arboviruses
Colorado tick virus, Poswassan virus, Tick Borne Encephalitits
Colorado Tick fever
Reovirus- febrile biphasic, Kids get encephalitis and adults get prolonged fatigue
Mosquito Vector Arboviruses
Lacross/ California Ecncephalitits, Easter and Western Equine Virus, St. Louis Encephalitits, West Nile Virus, japanese Encephalitits, Yellow Fever, Dengue, Zika, Chikanguya
La Cross/ California Encephalitits
Bunya virus. Most severe is under 16 years old. Neuroinvasive
Eastern and Western Equine Virus
Toga virus, increased case fatality. Seizures, personality disorders, intellectual impairment
St. Louis Encephalitits-
Flavivirus- children get meningitis and adults get encephalitis.
West Nile Virus
flavi virus- peak is in July to October- Neuroinvasivness increases with age. Encephalitis or acute flaccid myelititis, meningitis
Yellow Fever
flavivirus, hits the second zone of the liver, can bleed for various sites. Black vommit. Congo and Brazil are endemic
yellow fever vaccine
live attenuated vaccine. Self limited encephalitis or viscerotropic reaction from underlying disease state
Dengue
flavi virus first time is asymptomatic, but when infected again get severe infection from the increase in availability of monocyte to infect which increases the viral load
Zika
flavi virus- causes Gillian barre and birth defect. Fever, rash, joint pain, conjunctivitis increase risk of first trimester. Spreads through mosquito or sex
Chickunguanya
explodes once population is no longer immune. Severe joint pain is the major symptoms
Picorna virus
RNA virus with positive sense RNA naked. Early summer and fall
which type of cells are most important to clearing picorna
B cells
asymptomatic polio
no clear signs of infection
abortive polio
majority of symptomatic disease. Incubation 9-12 days. Fever, headache, malaise, sore throat, vomiting. Usually only suspect polio during an outbreak. Sickness lasts les than a week and complete recovery
non-paralytic polio
aseptic meningitis- just like the minigitis cuased by other enterovirus. Have the symptoms of abortive poliomyelitis but perhaps a bit more severe and have symptoms of neck, back and limb.
• There is no paralysis, symptoms last 2-10days
paralytic polio
have symptoms of abortive poliomyletitis, defervescence and then symptoms of paralytic poliomyelitits 2-5 days later. Adults don’t have biphasic course but prolonged prodromal stage. The virus travels through the peripheral nerves to the CNS or crosses the blood brain barrier for the entry into the CNS. The virus replicates in the motor neurosn of the anterior horn of the brain stem. The destruction of the neurons also leads to inflammation and influx of immune cells. The virus does not replicate in the muscle.
spinal polio
motor neurons are lost so decreased reflexes and flaccid paralysis
bulbar polio
CN involvement with polio
post- polio
new motor recruitment overtime so less motor weakness but distributed differently
Salk vaccine
inactivated but no mucosal immunity so spread of disease
Sabin vaccine
oral live attenuated vaccine- gut inactivates it so no spread, but can get polio
which type of picorna virus causes polio
polio, E71
which type of picorna meningitis/encephalitis
Coxsackie A and B, echo
which type of picorna myocarditits
Coxsackie B
which type of picorna pleurodynia
Coxsackie B- intercostal inflammation
which type of picorna virus causes HFMD
Coxsackie A and EV71
which type of picorna virus causes herpangina
Coxsackie A- painful ulcerated soft palate
which type of picorna virus causes respiratory
Ev68 and others
Which type of picorna virus causes acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis
EV 70, Coxsackie A- very contagious in crowded areas
which type of picorna virus causes generalized infection of newborns
echo, coxsackie B- fulminant hepatitis or myocarditis
Bunya
segmental, helical virus, negative sense RNA virus, enveloped
Crimean Congo Fever
Bunya, tick bites from infected livestock.
Rift Valley Fever
mosquitos to animal to human- meningoencephalitis
Hantavirus US form
US is the pulmonary from inhaled rat dropping. Damage to endothelial cells so there is vascular leaking. Virus does not kill the endothelial cells
Hantavirus European
it is the renal form, and it causes endothelial damage but not vascular leaking occurs
Arena Virus
LCMV and Lassa
LCMV
from mouse droppings can cause lots of miscarriages
Lassa
very fatal during pregnancy Mild is general weakness, fever, malaise can go to hypertension and shock. Hearing loss is the most common. Its from rate urine or exposure to body fluids.
Filovirus
SSRNA negative, helical, enveloped
Marburg
uganda strain may be from the fruit bat
Ebola transmission
through touching dead or highly viremic patients tends to duo from bats.
