Q

Hep C

A

Hepatitis A is spread through the stool of an infected person, hepatitis B is spread through bodily fluids, and hepatitis C is spread through blood. It’s important to remember that you can’t get hepatitis just by touching someone who is infected.

Q

What happens if dental practitioners/ HCW get positive infection/ Ag +?

A
  1. cannot practice exposure form procedures
  • In florida DP, orthopeadic surgeon did infect, hasn’ t happened in Aus yet.
    -HCV infection high in health international, mainly nurses

Q

Types of HIV

A

2 types
most likely in western= HIV1 - spreads faster
-

HIV2 slightly less infectious, mainly found in West Africa (huge problem)

Q

Prevalence of HIV in Australia

A

dic. 1959 in Congo
-2013: HIV + 35 mill. with 2.1 m infections/year. mainly west Africa/developing
- 2013: 25K in Aus, infection rate slowing down by 40% in last decade due to presence of antiretroviral Tx (decrease AIDS and viral genome)

Q

HIV replication

A

It’s a ‘retro virus’= can stay for long infection.

can integrate its own DNA to host DNA (inside DNA of CD4 T cell)

  1. binds CD4 on T cell with CCR5 co receptor (kinokine receptor)
  2. fuse with T cell
  3. release proteins like rna to replicate and reverse transcript and integrate into host genome

summary
enters by RNA strain, reverse transcript to DNA, integrate to host, host pumps out ‘viral’ genome/ proteins as it would it’s own= RUNNING OFF THE SCRIPT

new protein- > virion

replication destroys CD4 cell

enough virus budding leads to

Q

Diff transmission of HIV 1 and 2

A

HIV 2 can infect more cells bc it has an extra coreceptor, compared to HIV 1

Q

HIV pathogenesis is characterised by

Tx is characterised by?

A

rapid decrease of CDT4 cells

as a result of

increase HIV rna in blood, increase slowly until you get ‘aquirement’ of AIDS

In tx.
HIV is unable to be detected and CD4T levels remain OK, prevents onset of aids

17
Q

What is Hep? mains symptom?

A

inflammation liver

main symptom: yellow/jaundice bc liver can’t detox, build up of toxins

18
Q

Hep B

A

virus attacks liver

acute and chronic disease

19
Q

Is there a vacc for Hep B

A

Yes. safe. Hep B more controversial bc ppl say “i dont have Ab against Hep B”

use to be 2 now its min 3 times.

20
Q

Prev of Hep B

A

~300m infected with chronic Hep B, 1.5m new each year (WHO, 2019), half of chronic are undioagnosed (they don’t know they have it)
~1m deaths assoc with HepB mainly due to liver cancer and cirrhosis (liver shuts down bc of death of liver bc cannot filter anything)

21
Q

Hep B virus itself

A

small DNA virus with wierd ft.

has diff genome/replication process to other DNA virus

  • has RNA intermediate that mix into genome
  • 8 diff types unlike HIV has 2, this one has 8
  • good replicator
  • targets liver cells, causing disease
  • super hardy. an survive 1 wk outside body thats why steri needs to be done
    -transmission: fluid- dev. country = mother to child (prom in carribean?)
  • acquired during early childhood mainly
  • found in saliva but no doc infection
22
Q

Incubation period for Hep B

A

75 days until you see symptoms. up to 6 months.

pretty decent time for virus. compared to COVID you get sick in 2 days

23
Q

Replication process of Hep B

A
  1. virus bind to receptor of cell surface
  2. in virion, relax circular DNA genome, unpackage, DNA rls into nucleus of cell, becoming covalent closed DNA (diff shape)
  3. transcribed
  4. translation

surface ag
- traffic to surface of cell, sub virus particles
- relaxed circular DNA, goes back to cont. cycle
- expression of ECspace= virion that can infect

24
Q

Hep C

A

same as Hep B, but virus is Hep C

similar, can cause acute + chronic hepatitis

less disrtibuted
- 58m have chronic hep C infection, 1.5 m every year.
- 300K ppl died of Hc in 2019 bc of cirrhosis and liver cancer

25
Q

What is Tx for Hep C?

A

Antiviral meds shown to cure 95% of Hc virus. but con is its expensive, only like Aus, UK and US has ready access to it. In Aust. ppl are getting cured but there isnt huge prev here.

26
Q

What does Hep C virus look like?

A
  • small , enveloped, +ss RNA
  • like HIV also positive but this one is NOT a retrovirus
  • comes from Flaviviridae fams, genus is diff (this Virus i s not mosquito born, just in humans)
27
Q

Most simple rep cycle V? What is process?

A

Hep C

  • viral att to cell receptors (diff virus use diff cell receptors)
  • V engulfed into cell, enters in cell to fuse with endosomal mem
  • release ss RNA genome which is already POSITIVE (positive= messenger, stuff that cellular translation machinary can read str8 away)
  • polyprotein produced- one whole genome prod. at Endoret in replication complexes (RCs)
  • cleavage of polyprotein
    -viral assembly
  • traffic out transgolgi network
  • viral released in extracellular space
  • back in blood

28
Q

What is risk of healthcare worker (HW)?

A

infection risk after being exposed to pt with HBV, HIV

  • HBV= most infections, esp needlestick injury.
    HBsAg= surface Ag
    HBeAg= core Ag (mainly used for dx in aust)
29
Q

Serology will find a chance 40-60% of HBV infection after needle injury by detecting presence of what?

A

HBsAg= surface Ag
HBeAg= core Ag (mainly used for dx in aust)

30
Q

If pt is HCV positive what is chance of being positive for HCV?

A

1.8-7%

HIV is lower (0.3%)- good bc HIV is gnarly awful.

31
Q

HCW needed to tested for viruses when?

A

every 3 years

32
Q

What levels are considered infectious in blood?

A

HIV >200 viral copies/mL blood (NO exposure prone procedures

HCV RNA +

HBV DNA >200 units

33
Q

What is relative risks of viruses

A

HBV more infections
HIV tho scariest is least infectious

34
Q

Needle stick injuries

A

burs, syringe, sharps.

injury with blood.

When you put needle down, that’s when you become unconscious of sharp injury.

HAVE to involve small amt of blood, so have to break into skin

  • oral surgeons: more likely in fracture reductions and wire ligatures
  • also can splashing of mucous membranes with blood
35
Q

MEthods to prevent needle injuries

A
  • isolate or cover sharps
  • one hand technique so you don’t stab other hand
  • instruments rather than fingers
  • sharps bin
    -PPE
36
Q

Mx of needle injury

A
  • wound mx- wash wound with soap
  • let it bleed to clear wound site out
  • report injury
  • assess infection risks, what was exposure, how much blood was there
  • get tests DP and pt.
  • are they immuno comp or immuno suppressed
  • baseline status= monitered for period bc virus takes long
  • PEProphylaxis= antiretroviral, post exposure and cont. monitor both person wks- mnths for signs and symptoms of viral infection
37
Q

Process of infected DP

A

1positive
- NO work
- Anti virals for HIV or whichever virus
- until numbers under thresholds (no work)
- can still perform when negative, so

38
Q

Infected DP

A
  • don’t have to report to AHPRA or work,
  • cont to do job provided infection is in control

but like insurance could ban you if you dont be honest

39
Q

does 3 dose ensure immunity?

A

depends to ppl, some may need boosters more. lifespan of protection of vaccine= 15-30yrs…
