Onfectious Disease Part 2 Flashcards
Transient infections
Measles Mumps Polio virus West Nile virus Viral hemorrhagic fever
Is a leading cause of vaccine preventable death and illness worldwide
Measles or rubeola virus
Measles is transmitted by
Respiratory droplets
Transient infections
Measles
Cell surface receptors for the virus
All nucleated cells
CD46
Transient infections
Measles
Cell surface receptors for the virus
Cells of immune system
SLAM or
CD150
Transient infections
Measles
Cell surface receptors for the virus
Epithelial cells
Nectin 4
Measles pathogenesis
Both CD46 and SLAM bind the
Viral hemagglutinin protein
Measles pathogenesis
Viral entry Multiply in upper respiratory epithelial Lymphoid tissues Replicate. In lymphatics Blood and systemic dissemination
Measles dissemination to many tissues
Conjunctiva Respiratory tract Urinary tract Small blood vessels Lymphatic system CNS
Measles with T cell mediated immunity
Rash
Measles with malnourished children
Croup
Pneumonia
Diarrhea
Keratitis
Black measles
Measles with Ab mediated immunity
Protects against reinfection
Measles can cause transient but profound immuno suppression
Secondary bacterial and viral infection
Measles
Vasodilation of skin vessels, edema, and moderate non specific mononuclear peri vascular infiltrate
Blotchy, reddish brown RASH
Measles
Ulcerated mucosal lesions in oral cavity near opening of stensen ducts marked by necrosis, neutrophils exudate and neurovascularization
Koplik spots
Measles
Follicular hyperplasia of lymphoid organs with multinucleated giant cells
Warthin- finkeldey cells
Measles
Peri bronchial and intestinal mononuclear cell infiltration
Measles pneumonia
Mumps
Characteristics
Mumps virus a member of paramyxovirus just like measles
Mumps
Two types of surface glycoproteins
Hemagglutinin and neuramidase activity
Cell fushion and hemolytic activity
Mumps
Pathogenesis
Inhalation of respiratory droplets URT Draining lymphnodes Activated T cells Blood Salivary glands and other sites (CNS, testis,ovary and pancreas)
Mumps
Desquamate on of cells, edema, and inflammation
Infects salivary gland ductal epithelial cells
Mumps
Most common extra salivary gland complication
Aseptic meningitis
Mumps
70% bilateral
Salivary glands are enlarged with doughy consistency, moist, glistening and reddish brown on cross section
Memos parotitis
Mumps parotitis
Microscopic
Edematous gland interstitium
Diffuses infiltration by macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells
Compress acini and ducts
Mumps
Testicular swelling due to edema, mononuclear cell infiltration, and focal hemorrhages
Mumps orchid is
Mumps or hits pathogenesis
Parenchymal swelling
Compromise blood supply
Positive areas of infarction
Mumps
Sterility due to
Scars and atrophy of the testis after resolution of infection
Mumps
Parenchymal and fat necrosis with neutrophil rich inflammation
Pancreas
Mumps
Peri venous demyelination and perivascular mononuclear cuffing
Mumps encephalitis
A spherical, unencapsulated RNA virus of the entero virus genus
Poliovirus
Poliovirus
There are 3 major strains of polio virus included in the
Stalk formalin-fixed (killed) vaccine
Sabin oral, attenuated (live) vaccine
Poliovirus
Causes poliomyelitis or inflammation of gray spinal cord also known as
Infantile paralysis
Poliovirus
Pathogenesis
Fecal oral route Oropharynx Secreted in saliva Swallowed Multiply in lining of mucosa Viremimotor neuron of spinal cord or brain stem
Poliovirus
Species specificity determined by amino acid residues that are present in the
Human receptor
CD 155
Epithelial adhesion molecule
Poliovirus
Replicates in
Motor neurons of the spinal cord (spinal poliomyelitis) Brain stem ( bulbar poliomyelitis)
Poliovirus
Rare cases of poliomyelitis that occur after vaccination are caused by
Mutations of the attenuated viruses to wild type forms
Poliovirus
Microscopic
Neuronophagia
West Nile virus
Arthropod borne virus (arbovirus) of the flavivirus froup
West Nile virus
Accidental host
Human
West Nile virus
Transmission
Mosquitoes to bird or mammals
Developed prolonged viremia (major reservoir for the virus)
West Nile virus
Pathogenesis
Mosquito bites Dendritic cells Lymphnodes Blood stream BBB Infects neurons
West Nile virus
Essential host factor that resist neuro invasive infection
Chemokine receptor CCR5
West Nile virus
Associated with symptomatic and lethal WNV infection (protective against HIV-1 infection
CCR5 32 allele
West Nile virus
Microscopic
Encephalitis
Viral hemorrhagic fevers
Systemic infectious caused by enveloped RNA viruses in four different genera
Arenaviridae
Filoviridae
Bunyaviridae
Flaviviridae
