URIs Flashcards
Rhinovirus
Virulence Factors
Pathology
Presentation
VF: binds ICAM-1 on upper resp tract epithelial cells
Path: intracellular replication, increased ICAM-1 expression in adjacent cells
Presentation: common cold
Parainfluenza Virus
Virulence Factors
Pathology
Presentation
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
Coronavirus
Virulence Factors
Pathology
Presentation
VF: none identified
Path: same as rhino
Presentation: common cold, SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome)
Influenza C
Virulence Factors
Pathology
Presentation
VF: ?
Path: viral hemagglutinin (HA) envelope binds sialic acid on cell surfaces
⇒ endocytosis
viral neurominidase protein claves HA bound to sialic acid
⇒ viral spread
