RNA viruses I Flashcards
Major cause of laryngotracheobronchitis
PIV
Koplik spots
Measles (rubeola)
Influenzaviruses are all classified under
Orthomyxovirus
Red spots on buccal mucosa and descending maculopapular rash (head to toe). Fever persists throughout. Cough and coryza.
Measles
PIV subtype associated with bronchitis and pneumonia in infants and children
PIV 3
High fever, headache, muscle pain, red/itchy eyes –> chest pain, shock, blindness and bleeding
Severe hemorrhagic fever caused by filovirus
ebola/marburg
RNA virus with neuraminidase and hemagglutinin
Influenza A and B
PIV subtype most commonly causing croup
PIV 1 & 2
HDV requires this helper
HBV
Clinical manifestations of influenza in youth and elderly differ how?
More toxic-looking.
Otitis media, more GI symptoms, febrile convulsions, croup
Transmission of PIV
respiratory droplets or nasopharyngeal secretions
RSV uses these glycoproteins
G –> attachment
F –> fusion
RNA virus spread by mouse
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)
also lassa virus (both are arenaviruses)
Bunyaviruses have ARTHROPOD vectors except for
Hantavirus
Measles is highly contagious in this period
prodrome (pre-rash)
Treatment for laryngotracheobronchitis
racemic epinephrine aerosol
