Main target of Parovirus B19?
red cell receptor globoside (blood group P antigen) of erythroid progenitor cells of the bone marrow

anti-parvovirus B19 IgM and IgG is diagnostic. IgM disappears in first few months, so test early. In general, IgM is most sensitive indicator of B19 disease -- appears 10-14 days after infection, and disappears up to 3 months later. IgG persists.

What infection is a major cause of acquired heart disease?
Kawasaki's
Leading cause of morbidity & mortality for this disease
seen in 25% of untreated children
Risk Factors for developing cardiac aneurysms in Kawasaki's?
Fever for more than 10 days, recurrence of fever after 48 hour afebrile period, arrhythmias other than first degree heart block, male gender, less than 1 year old, cardiomegaly, and low platelet count/Hct/albumin at presentation, delayed treatment
What lab is distinctive for Kawasaki's?
Thrombocytosis
Treatment of Kawasaki's?
Acute Stage:
IVGG 2g/kg over 10-12 hours
ASA 80 to 100mg/kg/day every 6 hours
Chronic: Repeat Echo, CBC, ESR at 2-3 weeks and again at 6-8 weeks
Discontinue ASA if normal at 6-8 weeks, may have to continue low dose 3 to 5 mg/kg/day single dose indefinitely if aneurysm formation is seen.
Name some pyrogenic toxin superantigens
toxic shock syndrome toxin-1, exfoliating toxin, staphylocccal enterotoxins A through E, and streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins A through C, and streptococcal M protein
What are superantigens?
proteins with special structure made by bacteria or viruses that are NOT PROCESSED by the antigen presenting cells, and instead bind directly to the MHCII causing nonspecific stimulation of T-cells
Superantigens activate what % of T-cell population?
5-30% (versus 0.01% conventional antigens)
Superantigen Massive cytokine production includes what cytokines?
TNFa, IL-1, IL6
Causes of TSS?
Mainly TSST-1 & enterotoxin B & C (TNFa & IL-1)
Causes of STSS?
