Q

Rhinovirus

Virulence Factors

Pathology

Presentation

Q

Parainfluenza Virus

Virulence Factors

Pathology

Presentation

A

VF: viral fusion (F) surface proteins

⇒ formation of multinucleate giant cells

Path: viral hemaglutinin (HA) binds envelope protein with sialic acid on cell surfaces

⇒ endocytosis

viral neurominidase envelope cleaves HA bound to sialic acid

⇒ permits viral spread

can move down respiratory tract

Presentation: croup, pneumonia
