Q

Outline viral attachment

A

There must be a binding site on the virus and the plasma membrane of the cell; the cell must have all of the right intracellular components in order for the virus to replicate

Q

Outline viral entry

A

If the virus is enveloped; there is membrane fusion and sometimes receptor-mediated endocytosis of the virus into the cell

Q

Outline viral uncoating

A

This can occur in the endosome (receptor-mediate endocytosis due to low pH and lysosomal enzymes), cytosol or nuclear membrane. This results in the migration of the virus to the right part of the cell to begin vision production

Q

What how HHV-6/7 infection present?

A

Known as roseola infant or exanthema subitum with sudden onset of high fever which suddenly stops and a rash appears.

Tends to affect those between 6months to 2 years old

Q

What are the stages of hepatitis B infection?

A

Tolerance, clearance, latency and reactivation

17
Q

What are the potential consequences of a chronic hepatitis B infection?

A

Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma

18
Q

Which serotypes of papillomavirus are carcinogenic (cervical cancer)?

A

Papillomavirus serotypes 16/18

19
Q

Which serotypes of papillomavirus give rise to genital warts?

A

Serotypes 6/11

20
Q

How may adenovirus infection present?

A

Implicated in upper respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia

21
Q

Why is parvovirus an opportunistic infection?

A

Doesn’t affect non-susceptible hosts

22
Q

How does a healthy, non-susceptible individual respond to a parvovirus infection?

A

The virus attaches to the blood group P antigen, so if an individual lacks this antigen they’re not susceptible to infection

23
Q

How does a highly susceptible individual respond to a parvovirus infection?

A

If an individual has the blood group P antigen, the virus will attach and replicate in red cell precursors, leading to aplastic crisis in those with haematological problems (e.g. sickle cell disease)

24
Q

What are the symptoms associated with parvovirus infection?

A

From least to most severe: asymptomatic, slapped cheek, arthropathy, aplastic crisis and foetal loss

25
Q

What type of virus are MMR, influenza, hepatitis C and HIV?

A

Enveloped RNA viruses

26
Q

What type of virus are rotavirus, enterovirus and hepatitis A?

A

Non-enveloped RNA viruses

27
Q

What are the signs of measles infection?

A

7-14 day incubation period before symptoms where Kolik spots and rash develops

28
Q

What are the signs of rubella infection?

A

Fever, occipital lymphadenopathy, mild rash

29
Q

What are the signs of congenital rubella (classic triad)?

A

Eyes - cataracts, glaucoma
Ears - sensorineural deafness
Heart- VSD or pulmonary artery stenosis (narrowing)

30
Q

What are the signs of influenza infection?

A

Bronchiolitis - inflammation of the bronchioles leading to cough, respiratory distress and wheeze

31
Q

What are the signs/symptoms of rotavirus infection?

A

Fever, vomiting and watery diarrhoea
