Viruses Flashcards
Influenza Virus
- causes acute respiratory illness
- ss RNA
Influenza A : most common, pathogenic
Hemagglutinin & Neuraminidase surface proteins
Influenza B
Influenza C
Amantidine
Prevent & treat influenza A virus
MOA: inhibit uncaring of viral RNA ; preventing replication
Crosses BBB = CNS effects = Parkinson disease (increase CNS dopaminergic response)
Monitor renal function
CDC does not recommended for influenza A d/t CNS effects & renal function
Rimantidine
Prevent & treat influenza A virus
MOA: inhibit uncaring of viral RNA ; preventing replication
Crosses BBB = less CNS effects than amantidine = Parkinson disease (increase CNS dopaminergic response)
Monitor renal function & LFTs
CDC does not recommended for influenza A d/t CNS effects & renal function
Oseltamivir
Prevention & treatment of influenza A and B viruses
MOA: inhibits neuraminidase of influenza A and B ; preventing release of vision from the host cell and prevent entry
Prodrug , ORAL agent
GOLD STANDARD
Being within TWO DAYS OF ONSET
Zanamivir
Prevention & treatment of influenza A and B viruses
MOA: inhibits neuraminidase of influenza A and B ; preventing release of vision from the host cell and prevent entry
Prodrug , ORAL INHALATION
* coadminister with bronchodilator (albuterol)
Avoid in dairy allergy
* CONTAINS MILK
Being within TWO DAYS OF ONSET
Herpesvirus
DNA or RNA
Monitoring what in these drugs
Nucleoside analogs
ds-DNA
(HSV-1/2, CMV, VZV, EBV)
Monitoring Renal function with these drugs
Nucleoside analogs ; synthetic analogs of purines or pyrimidines that inhibit viral replication
Trifluridine
Herpes Drug
OCULAR HSV
Ophthalmic solution formation only - refrigerate
Treat for 7 additional days
Cidofovir
Herpes Drug
CMV infections* ; HSV activity
HHV agent - Pyrimidine analog
Good for systemic spread, CMV meningitis
IV only** = RENALLY TOXIC = hydrate prior to therapy
May be given with probenecid to maintain plasma concentrations
*Measure I&O
Acyclovir
HSV, VZV - Herpes Virus
Only effective against actively replicating virus **
Not effective against latent virus
Oral, IV, Topical
IV formulation renally toxic === hydrate
Poor bioavailability (Valacyclovir)
Monitor renal function
Valacyclovir
HSV, VZV - Herpes Drug
Prodrug of acyclovir (better bioavailability)
Only active against replicating virus
ORAL formulation only **
Better bioavailability vs acyclovir - less frequent dosing
Famciclovir
Prevention and Treatment of HSV and VZV
- good for chicken pox
Prodrug of penciclovir - better bioavailability
MOA: Uses viral thymidine kinase for activation for activation - inhibits viral DNA polymerase - preventing viral DNA synthesis
Monitor renal function
Penciclovir
Treatment of HSV infection (H. Labialis, H. facials)
Active metabolite of famciclovir
Uses viral thymidine kinase for activation
TOPICAL formulation only
“pen” ~ writing on top of paper ~ topical
Ganciclovir
Treatment and Prevention of CMV infection only
Oral, IV, topical ophthalmic, intravitreal implantation
IV infusion in large peripheral veins or central vein
IV formulation is really toxic ==== HYDRATE
Monitor
- CBC w/ diff == hematological effects
- LFTs
- Renal function
- Serum electrolytes
Valganciclovir
Prevention and Treatment of CMV infections
Prodrug of ganciclovir
Oral tablet - take with food!
Monitor:
- CBC w/ diff
- Renal function
oral product, if pt has CMV in the hospital and has been treated and safe to D/C will transfer to this oral agent
Foscarnet
Prevention and treatment CMV; treatment of HSV & VZV
MOA: not a nucleoside analog (inorganic pyrophosphate analog)
- inhibits viral specific DNA polymerases and RT at pyrophosphate binding site
- *** does not require thymidine kinase = good for HSV deficient in kinases
IV formulation only
- ** accumulates in bone and cartilage
- Renal toxic == hydrate
Monitor:
- Chem 10 : for renal function and electrolyte loss
- CBC w/ diff - d/t bone marrow suppression
- ECG changes - AV block, ST wave changes
Hep A
Incubation period 14 - 28 days
Does not cause chronic disease
Person to person exposure
fecal - oral route
Check HAV IgG/IgM antibodies
Vaqta
HAV vaccine
HAV only
Indication : > 12 months of age
2 dose - 2nd dose 6-18 months later
Havrix
HAV vaccine
HAV only
Indication : > 12 months of age
2 dose - 2nd dose 6-12 months later
Twinrix
HAV vaccine
HAV / HBV combo ** only one
Indication : > 18 y/o
3 dose -
2nd = @ 1 month
3rd @ 6 months
Results for Acute infected / highly infectious HBV
+ : HBsAg, HBcAg, Anti-HBc, HBeAg
- : Anti- HBs
Results for chronic infection HBV
+ : HBsAg, HBcAg, Anti-HBc
+/- : HBeAg
- : Anti- HBs
Results for resolved infection or
immune d/t natural infection

- : HBsAg, HBcAg, HBeAg
Immune due to vaccination
Only positive Anti-HBs
Hepatitis B
DNA or RNA
ROT
Monitoring with these drugs
ds-DNA-RT
Blood, sexual
Monitoring LFTs/ Renal
all renal dosed CrCl <50
- Renal function
- LFTs
- HBV labs (viral load, serologies)
Peg-interferon Alfa - 2a
Inferferon Alfa 2b
HBV drug
MOA: activate NKC and macrophages ; inhibits viral protein production
Peg - administered SQ ; hepatic dosing
Interfron - administered IV, IM, SQ
**CNS EFFECTS
Monitor:
- Anemias - CBC w/ diff
- Infections - chest x-ray
- Arrhythmias - EKG
- LFTs
- Hypothyroidism - thyroid function
- PSYCH CHANGES - moods
not using these d/t arrhythmias, mood changes & secondary infections
Adefovir

- effective against Iamivudine - resistant HBV *** 184 mutation seeing used the most
Oral tablet
MOA: prodrug metabolized by cellular kinases - preventing DNA synthesis
Renal Dosed** , when CrCl < 50
- HD dosing 10mg PO every 7 days after HD
Monitor
- Renal function
- LFTs
- HBV labs (viral load, serologies)
DO NOT USE WITH TENOFOVIR
Lamivudine
HBV : 100 mg PO
HIV-1 , HIV-2 : 300 mg PO
Classified as Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitor
*** Cross coverage if no resistance mutation ; if someone has 184 mutation in HIV and then gets HBV it will also have 184 so can’t use
Oral tab = oral solution
Renal dosed ; CrCL < 50
Monitor :
- Blood glucose
- CBC with Diff
- HIV VL/CD4 count
- HBV VL

- Renal function
Entecavir
HBV
Inhibits HBV RT - suppressed DNA replication ; weak activity towards HIV RT
Oral tab does not = oral solution
- decrease dose switching from tab to solution
- MUST take on empty stomach for optimal absorption
Renal dosed CrCl < 50
Monitor:
- Renal function
- LFTs
- T.bili
- Bfs (especially in DM patients)
Telbivudine
HBV

ADR - LFTs
rarely used
HCV
DNA/RNA ROT Who should get tested When to initiate treatment Common ADRs in drugs
ssRNA
objective for Hep C is to cure
ROT = contaminated devices , IV needles ; sexual contact higher prevalence in MSM
All person between 1945-1965
IVDU, HIV, MSM
For all patient with chronic HCV initiate treatment exception short life expectancy <12 month that cannot be treated with transplantation or with remediated treatment
- Fatigue / headache/ GI
- No renal dosing ; caution in ClCr <30
NS5B polymerase inhibitor
SOfosbuvir
nucleoside analoe incorporate into HCV RNA leading to chain termination = stops HCV replication
NS3/4A Protease Inhibitor
Inhibits the cleavage of polyproteins into nonstructural proteins essential in HCV replication
LOWER barrier to resistance (Q80K)
“Previr”
NS5A inhibit
inhibits the phosphorylation of proteins required for HCV RNA replication preventing HCV RNA replication
Associated with resistance mutation = decreases activity
