Small non-env DNA virus that attacks erythroid cell surface receptors
MC seen in SCA
Parvo B19
Giant pronormoblast w glassy intranuclear inclusion
Marker for acute HBV
HBsAg
HBeAg
Marker for HBV acute infection but aSx
Anti-HBc IgM
Window phase
Marker for HBV for cleared infection / vaccination
Anti HBs
Chronic HBV marker
Anti HBe
HBs Ag
HBV DNA
Dec viral replication n infectivity
Acute + chronic HBV marker
Anti HBc I
IgG
HBV serological markers
HBsAg : HBV surface glycoproteins.
acute infections
>6 months = chronic infection
HBeAg
HBV polypeptide
acute infection
Indicates ↑ viral replication & infectivity
Anti-HBc IgM
First sign of acute infection
Present during window phase prior to HBsAg & HBeAg
Anti-HBs
Seen with cleared infection or vaccination
Confers long-term immunity
Anti-HBe
Develops in cleared infection & later in chronic infection
Indicates ↓ viral replication & infectivity
Anti-HBc IgG
Present in both acute & chronic infection
Not present after vaccination
Maculopapular rash on chest n trunk after fever subsides
Roseola
Latex agglutination Dx for?

Nicotinic ACh:
ICAM-1:
Integrins (heparan sulfate): CMV
CD21: EBV
CD4, CXCR4, CCR5: HIV
P antigen on RBCs: ParvoB19

Virus replicating in birds n passed to mosquitoes
West Nile
Culex
Virus causing Parkinsonian Sx
West Nile virus
Antigenic variation seen in?
- Influenza
2. HCV
MOA EBV
- infects B cells : binds to CD21 surface receptors - activates CD8 cytotoxic cells via APC on MHC I - which destroys virus infected cells
