viral URT infections Flashcards
treat adenovirus
symptomatic
rhinovirus structure
nonenveloped, icosahedral capsule +ssRNA genome small size temperature sensitive
treatment for rhinovirus
symptomatic sanitation helps prevent spread
respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)
paramyovirus family
summary = rhinovirus, RSV, adenovirus, EBV site of replication for each
cyto - rhino, rsv nucleus - adeno, ebv
respigam vs palivizumab (synagis)
prevents RSV Synagis>x100>> respigam s- monoclonal ab (anti F reactive ab) r- polyclonal ab
adenovirus structure
ds linear DNA genome icosahedral capsid, largest nonenveloped virus replicates in nucleus
diagnosis for rhinovirus, rsv, adenovirus, ebv
rhino - symptoms rsv - antigen detection by ELISA/IFA, viral culture, PCR adeno - antigen detection by ELISA/IFA, viral culture, PCR ebv - heterophile Ab, atypical lymphocytes, Ab viz ELISA, PCR
what causes 1/3 of all adult common colds?
rhinovirus
what encodes its own dna dependent dna polymerase?`
ebv
what causes infectious mononucleosis
ebv
pathogenesis of RSV
entry as aerosol/fomite via nose/eye epithelia self limiting infection, 7-10 days causes runny nose, fever, rapid breathing, wheezing, coughing, lips turn blue
primary receptor for ebv infection
CD21 (CR2)
how is rhinovirus transmitted?
aerosol droplets and direct contact many cases coincide with sept to april school year
rhinovorus causes these inflammatory responses:
nasal discharge and congestion sneezing, sore throat edema, erythema aches, fatigue, loss of appetite
diagnose RSV
anitgens in nasal swab or aspirate use DFA or ELISA viral culture PCR
immunity for adenovirus
by 10, most have antibodies against common serotypes cell mediated CD8 CTL response controls infections
diagnosis adenovirus
antigen detected in aspirate/throat swab virus isolation serology - complement fixation test pcr
