20
Q

A flavivirus (also an arbovirus) transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. virus has a monkey or human resorvoir

Symptoms: High fever, black vomitis, and jaundice

What is the cause?

A

Yellow fever virus

21
Q
A
22
Q

he most important global cause of infantile gastroenteritis, is a segmented dsRNA virus ( a reovirus)

Major cause of acute diarrhea in the US during winter, especially in day-care centers, kindergartens.

  • What is the cause?
  • What is the mechanism?
A
  • Rotavirus
  • Villous destruciton with atrophy
    • leads to dec absorption of Na and loss of K

  • CDC recommends routine vaccinationt of all infants*
  • ROTAvirus-Right out the Anus!*
23
Q
  • Enveloped - ssRNA, viruses with 8 segments genome
  • contains _ _( promotes viral entry) and _ _ (promotes progeny virion release) antigens.
  • Patients at risk for _ _
  • Rapid genetic changes
  • Define organism

A
  • Killed viral vaccine
  • Live attenuated; intranasally
25
Q

what causes pandemics, reassortment of viral genome, segments undergo high freq recombination, such as when human flu A virus recombines with swine flu A virus.

A

Genetic shift/antigentic shifts

Sudden shift is more deadly than gradual drift.

26
Q

Causes epidemics. Minor (changes bassed on random mutation)

A

Antigentic drift

Sudden shift is more deadly than gradual drift

27
Q

Define virus and family and other name

fever, postauricular and other lymphadenopathy, arthralgias, and fine rash. Causes mild disease in children but serious congenital disease (a ToRCHeS infection). Congenital rubella findings include ‘blueberry muffin’ appearance, indicative of extramedullary hematopoieis

A
  • rubella, togavirus, 3 day german measles

    • mumps, measles,
    • RSV (respiratory tract infeciton (bronchiolitis, pneumonia) in infants
  • All of these contain what
    • what is its purpose
  • what prevents pneuomia caused by RSV infection in premature infants
A
  • Surface F (fusion) protein
    • causes respiratory epithelial cells to fuse adn form multinucleated cells
  • Palivizumab
    • monoclonal antibody against F protein
29
Q

is a paramyxovirus that causes koplik spots (blue-white center on buccal mucosa), and descending maculopapular rash

Cough, Coryza (irritation inside nose), conjunctivitis pink eye

  • What are some possible sequelae?
  • What is used to prevent severe exfoliative dermatitis in malnourished children?

Pt presents with parotisi (enlarged parotid glands) and orchitis (inflammation of testes) and aseptic meningitis

  • What is it?
  • What is the major complication?
A
  • Mumps virus
  • Orchitis/sterility (especially after puberty)
31
Q

Pt presents with

  • bullet shaped virus
  • Negri bodies commonly found in _ _ & _ ?_
  • This virus has a long incubation period (wks to months) before symptom onset.
  • Progression of disease
    • fever, malaise–> agitation, photophobia, hydrophobia–>paralysis, coma –> death
  • Postexposure treatment is wound cleansing and _ _ & _ ._
