viral infections of the skin soft tissue, bone, muscle and joints I Flashcards
papilloma
- benign growth of the skin or mucous membranes
macule
- small DISCOLORED patch of skin that forms an area distinct from the normal surrounding surface
papule
- CIRCUMSCRIBED RAISED PORTION OF THE SKIN
vesicle
-small pouch of CLEAR fluid
pustule
full of pus
warts
- hyperkearatotic
- cutaneous are often painless if cutaneous
- CAUSED BY HPV
- LOOK CAULIFLOWER LIKE
Name for common wart
plantar wart
flat warts
verruca vulgaris
verruca plantaris
verruca plana
HPV
- nonenvveloped
dsDNA
replication depends on differentiation status of the tissue
what layer of the skin would you expect to find a new HPV infection
suprabasal
-infected at basal layer, virion matures as moves up
where does the bump come from in warts?
- expanding of all layers due to proliferation
- proliferation initiated so that the virus can use the cell’s machinery to replicate itself
- specifically- HPV-7 and HPV-6 are used to inactivate tumor suppressor cells Rb and P53 respectively causing the cells to go into S phase more and reprematurely
what are the main cutaneous HPV viruses divided into common and plantar warts
- common- 2,3,10
- plantar- 1.4
transmission of HPV? incubation of HPV? diagnosis?
- HPV- direct contact or with contact with surfaces
- 3-4 months
- diagnosis- appearance-koilodal cells (large nuclei with halo/nonstained around them) and hyperkeratosis
Treatment/prevention for HPV
- common and plantar warts usually spontaneous regress after a few months- 2 yrs
- wart removal- cryotherapy, cytotoxic, chemicals, surgical removal
- > NOTE HPV 16, 18, 6, 11: do not protect against cutaneous warts
Molluscum Contagiosum
- painless, pearly, umbilicated, nodules
- seen in genitals (sexual-for adults), hands on kids via contact
- has concavity
- in microscope, it has LARGE AMOUNT IN CELL
- large eosiophilic cytoplasmic inclusions (molluscum bodies)
- poxviridae
- large dsDNA genome
- replicates within cytoplasm - UNIQUE
incubation and transmission of molluscum contagiosum
- 14-50 days
- transmission via direct contact with lesions or fomaite transmission thru a towel or something
