Q

polio - pathogenesis
What is the order of initial infection to shedding?
What lapse of the immune system causes paralytic polio?

A

Virus swallowed, multiplication in tonsils/Peyer’s patches/ lymph nodes of SI and fecal-oral excretion of virus (route to next person via environment or hands), invasion of CNS (via viremia) in cases that cause paralysis, circulating Ab too late to prevent CNS invasion (paralysis occurs despite Ab)

Q

influenza B - epidemiology

A

epidemics 3-6 years

101
Q

influenza C - epidemiology

A

minor clinical significance

102
Q

influenza - pathogenesis

A

droplets infect upper rispiratory tract, infection may extend to lower respiratory tract… destroys ciliated epithellium in respiratory tract, viremia uncommon (no role in pathogenesis), systemic symptoms caused by toxic components from sites of growth to cause H/A and muscle pains… complicated by pneumonia (sometimes secondary to bacterial pneomonia; pneumococcus most common; staphylococcos most fatal)

103
Q

influenza - incubation period

A

3-6 days

104
Q

influenza - signs and symptoms

A

fevers, chills, aches

105
Q

influenza - lab diagnostics

A

Lab diagnosis by virus isolation in eggs/tissue or by comparison of acute vs. convalescent sera looking for rise in anti-HA Ab via HI assay… rapid diagnosis via fluorescent Ab on throat swab specimen

106
Q

influenza - vaccines

A

Trivalent seasonal killed vaccine: 2 influenza A viruses, 1 B virus… need IgA so immunity only lasts 3-10 years… FluMist (live-attenuated intranasal spray vaccine) effective in children

107
Q

influenza - chemotherapy

A

Tamiflu and zanamivir: NA inhibitors reduce symptomatic period 1-2 days… only effective if given early, resistance against these drugs increasing… Adamantanes (not recommended in US since many A viruses have resistance against it and do not inhibit B viruses) effective in combination with NA inhibitors against H1N1 viruses, given before infection, nontoxic…. amantadine inhibits Influenza A uncoating

108
Q

paramyxoviruses - viruses

A

parainfluenza (1-4); respiratory synctial virus (RSV); mumps; measles

109
Q

paramyxoviruses - enveloped, nucleic acid/structure, virion structure

A

enveloped; ss-RNA, one segment; helical

110
Q

paramyxoviruses - how virus multiplies

A

packaged with RdRp in virion

111
Q

paramyxoviruses - transmission

A

airborne

112
Q

parainfluenza (1-4) - diseases caused

A

non-systemic respiratory disease, croup

113
Q

respiratory synctial virus (RSV) - diseases caused

A

non-systemic respiratory disease, lower respiratory infection, pneumonia, induces ginant cells

114
Q

mumps - diseases caused

A

mumps, orchitis, aseptic meningitis

115
Q

measles - diseases caused

A

measles, encephalitis, pneumonia, otitis media, rare giant-cell pneumonia (w/o rash when cell-mediated immunity is defective), subacute sclerosing panencephalititis (SSPE), photophobia

116
Q

parainfluneza (1-4) - general epidemiology

A

no major shifts in antigenicity (single segment of RNA), cause severe febrile lower respiratory infection on initial infection, infection does not result in lifelong imunity, causes hemagglutination

117
Q

respiratory synctial virus (RSV) - general epidemiology

A

no major shifts in antigenicity (single segment of RNA), cause severe febrile lower respiratory infection on initial infection, infection does not result in lifelong imunity, causes hemagglutination

118
Q

mumps - general epidemiology

A

Lifelong immunity from infection, IgG neutralizes, long incubation period, antigenically related to parainfluenza

119
Q

measles - general epidemiology

A

Lifelong immunity from infection, IgG neutralizes, long incubation period, not related to parainfluenza, most contagious disease known, almost never causes subclinical infections

120
Q

parainfluenza (1-4) - epidemiology

A

most common cause of croup (acute laryngo-tracheo-bronchitis), peack incidence at 2 yo

121
Q

respiratory synctial virus (RSV) - epidemiology

A

most frequent cause of severe lower respiratory infection in infants and significant infection in eldery

122
Q

mumps - epidemiology

A

30% infections subclinical, no antiviral therapy, MMR vaccine (live-attenuated)

123
Q

measles - epidemiology

A

Local epidemics every 3rd winter (before vaccine), needs large population to survive, cell-mediated immunity important in clearing infection, 5-25% measles mortality in developing countries… SSPE results from people with uncomplicated measles infections from 4-17 years previous and at early age (2yo)

124
Q

mumps - pathogenesis

A

Viremia important… primary infection in respiratory epithelium/local lymph nodes that results in viremia to infect other organs. Mumps grows in parotid gland and is excreted in saliva before/after swelling

125
Q

measles - pathogenesis

A

Viremia important… primary infection in respiratory tract and multiplies in epithelium/local lymph nodes/conjunctiva results in viremia 3 days prior to rash, virus excretion from respiratory tract and in tears and urine for a few days before/after rash

126
Q

mumps - incubation period

A

18-21 days

127
Q

measles - incubation period

A

14 days

128
Q

parainfluenza (1-4) - signs and symptoms

A

fever, croup: dyspnea and stridor (high pitched inspiration)

129
Q

respiratory synctial virus (RSV) - signs and symptoms

A

fever

130
Q

mumps - signs and symptoms

A

Prodromal fever/malaise/anorexia followed by uni/bilateral swelling of parotid glands. Usual presenting symptom is parotiditis.

131
Q

measles - signs and symptoms

A

Prodromal: fever, cold-like symptoms, Koplik spots (bright red lesions with central white spot on buccal mucosa), conjunctivitis, photophobia… anergy of cell-mediated immunity… severe hemorrhagic rash in fatal cases (death from fatal synergism of measles and malnutrition)… SSPE symptoms include insidious onset of intellectual deterioration/psych disturbances/fatal with terminal paralysis and blindness

132
Q

paramyxoviruses - lab diagnostics

A

hemagglutination (plus other methods for measles)

133
Q

measles - lab diagnostics

A

Hemagglutination, multi-nucleaed giant cells in lymph tissue (result of virus-induced cell fusion), SSPE: see inclusion bodies w/helical nucleocapsids + high Ab titers to measles virus + CNS has measles antigen

134
Q

respiratory synctial virus (RSV) - vaccines

A

none available

135
Q

mumps - vaccines

A

live attenuated (MMR, twice)

136
Q

measles - vaccines

A

live attenuated (MMR, twice)

137
Q

parainfluenza (1-4) - chemotherapy

A

severe croup treated with glucocorticoids

138
Q

respiratory synctia virus (RSV) - chemotherapy

A

Ribovirin: aerosol to treat RSV (efficacy unknown) in high-risk patients and severe infections… Passive immunization of high-risk infants (premature, pulmonary displasia) with mAb against RSV (prevents severe RSV pneumonia)

139

A

vitamin A reduces mortality but no antiviral therapy available
