Viral Hem. fevers Flashcards
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever 1) (virology) of Flaviridae family
1) + sense, ssRNA enveloped
All Hemorrhagic fevers pathogenesis: 1) gets infected by virus, which then acts on lymphocytes, and causes apoptosis, etc.
Macrophages
Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever pathogenesis: Macrophages release cytokines such as 1) which leads to DIC and hemorrhage
1) TNF-alpha, Tissure factor, and IL-6
Sequential infections increase risk of hemorrhage
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
All viral hemorrhagic fevers have some symptoms in common:
Hypotension, shock; multi-system organ failure
The virus infecting dendritic cells, macrophages, hepatoctyes and adrenal cortical cells.
Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever
Progresses to severe bruising, severe nosebleeds, and uncontrolled bleeding at injection sites
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
Treatment – Avoid aspirin
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever pathogenesis: Virus infects macrophages and monocytes which leads to decreased 1), which are anti-virals; also INC. TNF, and tissue factor leading to 2);
1) IFN-alpha and IFN-beta 2) hemorrhage
Nairovius causes 1); this virus has 2) viral segments; the largest one is the 3) segment which has nuclear proteins and ribonuclear capsid and polymerase
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever; 2) three 3) L segment
reservoir and vector Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
Hyalomma tick
West Africa including Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria
Lassa fever
Enveloped – sense RNA virus of Arenaviridae family
Lassa fever
Eastern Europe, NW China, central Asia, southern Europe, Africa, Middle East, Indian subcontinent
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
Human-to-human from contact with infected blood or body fluids
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Marburg Hemorrhagic Fever
• + sense, ssRNA enveloped virus of Flaviridae family • 4 viral serotypes–>Not cross-protective
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
vomiting with petechiae on the palate
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
Ebolavirus part of 1) family; Virology 2)
Filoviridae family 2) - sense ssRNA genome • Enveloped
