Q

Rhinovirus clinical features

A

Group A and B rhinoviruses are heat sensitive and inactivated by acid pH, so they grow only in upper respiratory tract. Group C can grow in lower respiratory tract Can cause common colds, bronchiolitis, influenza like illness, bronchopneumonia in infants and exacerbation of asthma (human rhinovirus-C)

Q

parainfluenza virus structure

A

large, enveloped ssRNA (minus sense) with helical nucleocapsid. Hemagglutinin mediates entry and destroys virus receptor from cell membranes. Fusion proteins mediate membrane fusion of respiratory cells to cause syncytia formation (giant cells) and virus infection.

Q

Parainfluenza virus clinical features

A

Parainfluenza viruses 1 and 2 can cause croup, laryngotracheitis, in infants and young children, but usually just colds in adults. Parainfluenza virus 3 causes colds in adults and can cause bronchopneumonia in infants and young children. Therefore it is an important goal to develop a
PIV3 vaccine. Parainfluenza virus 4 (subtypes a and b) is associated with mild upper respiratory disease, but is less common than PIV1 and 3.Parainfluenza viruses 1 and 2 can cause croup, laryngotracheitis, in infants and young children, but usually just colds in adults.

Q

RSV pathogensis

A

Fusion proteins on viral surfaces causes membranes of nearby cells to fuse, forming syncytia

17
Q

RSV risk factors for death

A

prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cardiac abnormalities

18
Q

Metapneumovirus clinical features

A

Interstitial pneumonia in adults. Wheezing and asthma may follow

19
Q

Structure of coronaviruses

A

Large, enveloped ssRNA (positive sense) with helical nucleocapsids.

20
Q

List the types of coronaviruses

A

alpha: 229E and NL63. Beta: OC43 and HKU1 in lineage a, zoonotic SARS-CoV in lineage b and zoonotic MERS-CoV in lineage C

21
Q

Coronavirus clinical features

A

URIs in children. LRIs in elderly/immunocompromised.

22
Q
  1. Describe SARS coronavirus and the disease it caused in 2002-3, its epidemiology, global spread and mortality rate.
A

SARS caused severe lower respiratory tract disease/ acute interstitial pneumonia with 50% fatality in people > 65 yrs and case/fatality ratio of 10%. It came from bats and spread from southern China to 29 countries. It was spred via respiratory drops and fecal

23
Q
  1. Explain the likely source of the SARS coronavirus and what was done to prevent the virus from becoming established as a common human respiratory pathogen worldwide.
A

It came from himalayan palm civets or raccoon-dogs, originally from a bat It was eliminated from human population by une 2003 due to coordinated global survellance and quarantine/ isolation of all victims and exposed persons

24
Q

describe MERS

A

is currently causing sporadic infections and
hospital-acquired infections of fever, cough and shortness of breath, particularly in elderly people with underlying clinical conditions such as diabetes, obesity etc. Primary case in Arabian peninsula. secondary cases on every continent. High case fatality rate.is currently causing sporadic infections and

25
Q

Bocavirus structure

A

Newly discovered parvovirus. Small, naked, ssDNA.

26
Q

Bocavirus clinical features

A

bronchiolitis, asthma exacerbations, pneumonia. Found in up to 5% of children hospitalized with respiratory disease

27
Q

Human respiratory polyomaviruses WU and KI structure and clinical

A

Medium sized, naked, dsDNA. Encode large and small T antigens and may have oncogenic potential

28
Q

Measles clilnical

A

2 week incubation. Maculopapular rash, fever, photophobia, immunosuppression. Virus replication moves from respiratory epithelium to local lymph nodes, blood, spleen, lymphatic tissues, lung, thymus, liver then skin

29
Q

Neuro complications of measles

A

Post infectious encephalomyelitis, Measles inclusion body encephalitis, Subacute sclerosing encephalomyelitis

30
Q

measles serotype

A

Only one- infections confers life long immunity

31
Q

Mumps clinical features

A

respiratory entry. Long incubation. Febrile disease which targets salivary glands and gonads.

32
Q

Rubella structure

A

rubivirus genus- enveloped ssRNA (plus sense) with icosahedral nucleocapsid.

33
Q

Rubella clinical

A

2 week incubatio period. Then fever and rash. Mild, self limited disease but 70% of infected adult women with primary rubella have arthralgia or arthritis in many joints that can last for a month or more.

34
Q

Rubella complications

A

Can pass through placenta causing congenital rubella syndrome- infects all fetal tissues and persists until after delivery. It can cause spontaneous abortions, neonatal death, deafness, blindness and/or mental retardation. Neonate sheds large amounts of virus in urine for months

35
Q

rubella vaccine

A
