Antivirals, Antimalarials And Anthelmintics

Front 1

Viruses

Back 1

obligate intracellular orgainism that must reside within a living host cell to survive, reproduce.

Front 2

Influenza

Back 2

aka the "flu", is a highly contagious viral infection that affects the nose, throat, and lungs

3 antigen types

1. A 2. B 3. C

Front 3

Herpes Viruses

Back 3

large viruses that cause infectios

1. herpes simplex type 1 & type 2

2. varicella-zoster (chickenpox & shingles)

3. cytomegalovirus - cold sores

4. Epstein Barr-

Front 4

Vaccines

Back 4

pharmacologic preperations that have been developed to provide immunity against and prevent disease

Front 5

Antiviral Drugs

Back 5

are used to prevent or delay the spread of a viral infection. they inhibit viral replication by interfering with viral nucleic acid synthesis in the host cell

Front 6

Acquired immunodeficiency Syndrome

Back 6

AIDS. immune disorder characterized by opportunistic disease

Front 7

Topical Antivarals

Back 7

1. idoxuridine

2. penciclovir

3. trifluridine

Front 8

Neuraminidase Inhibitors

Back 8

are a group of drugs that decrease the release of the virus from infected cell thus decreasing viral spread and shortening the duration of flu symptoms

1. zanamivir (Relenza)

2. oseltanivir phosphate (Tamiflu)

Front 9

Gamma Globulin

Back 9

is rich in antibodies found in the blood, it provides passive form of imminutiy to a virus by blocking the penertation of the virus into the host cell

Front 10

Purine Nucleosides

Back 10

antiviral group is effective interfering in the steps of viral dna synthesis

1. acyclovir

2. ribavirin

Front 11

Acyclovir

Back 11

Effective against herpesvirus,HSV-2 and shingles

Front 12

Antimalarial Drugs

Back 12

mosquitoes transmitted, Tissue phase: invasion of body tissue with no clincial symptoms, erythrocytic phase: invasion of the red blood cells

drugs prescribed are, cholorquine

Front 13

Anthelmintic Drugs

Back 13

destorys Helminths that are large organisms (worms) that feed on host tissue most commonly found in the intestines
