virus Flashcards
DNA viruses mnemonic –
H -H-A-P-P-P-y Herpesvirus Hepadnavirus Adenovirus Papovavirus Parvovirus Poxvirus
Herpesvirus
Herpes simplex (HSV), varicella-zoster (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr (EBV)
Hepadnavirus
Hepatitis B
Adenovirus
Numerous serotypes
Papovavirus
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)
Parvovirus
- Erythema infectiosum
Poxvirus
Molluscum contagiosum, smallpox, orf, milker’s nodules
Paramyxovirus Measles, mumps Togavirus Rubella Rhabdovirus Rabies Retrovirus HIV, HTLV Picornavirus Enterovirus: coxsackie virus
RNA Viruses
Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection during ? trimester - Highest risk for permanent abnormalities
1st and 2nd
#1 infectious cause of deafness and mental retardation in U.S. Most common congenital viral infection
Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
TORCH syndrome
“blueberry muffin baby” purpura
• Small for gestational age, microcephaly, retinitis, colobomas, intracranial calcifications
Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Epstein-Barr Virus Infects
B lymphocytes
Oral hairy leukoplakia • Slightly raised white plaque on
VIRUS?
lateral surface of tongue with a corrugated
appearance
Epstein-Barr Virus
Exanthem Subitum (Roseola Infantum, ? Disease)
HHV-6, HHV-7
6Th disease
Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease
transmission
• Oral–oral and fecal–oral mode
Herpangina ?coxsackievirus
• Group A coxsackievirus
Exanthem Subitum (Roseola Infantum, ? Disease)
fever and rash temporal
spread?
High fever , 4 days later eruption as the fever subsides
Lesions appear first on trunk, then spread to extremities
Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease virus
• Coxsackievirus A16 or enterovirus 71
Erythematous papules with grayish vesicle surrounding red areola
Hand-Foot-and-Mouth Disease
- Fever, headache, cervical lymphadenopathy
* Gray-white papulovesicles in oral mucosa that ulcerate (commonly present on tonsillar fauces, palate)
Herpangina
Neonatal Herpes Simplex
Use of scalp electrodes
increase risk of neonatal transmission in HSV-infected mothers
Neonatal Herpes Simplex
In utero infections can rarely occur
are associated with fetal anomalies
microcephaly, encephalitis, intracranial calcifications
(Kaposi’s Varicelliform Eruption)
:
• Atopic dermatitis
• Darier’s disease
• Hailey-Hailey, or severe seborrheic dermatitis
Acyclovir-resistant HSV* – Treatment
*Most commonly due to TK-deficient strains of HSV
• TK-independent fashion
Foscarnet – directly inhibits viral DNA polymerase
• cidofovir – inhibits viral DNA polymerase

Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
• Caused by VZV infection
of the geniculate ganglion
? causes roseola infantum = exanthem
• HHV-6 • HHV-7 – Sixth disease
