Which picornovirus genera is associated with the common cold?
|
Rhinovirus
|
|
For rhinoviruses, what is th optimal temperature for replication?
Why is this important? |
33 degree (Patrick Ewing is a rhino)
Means they can't replicate in most places of the body where it is warm. Can replicate in the URT where cooler. |
|
Is there likely going to be a vaccine for rhinovirus?
why or why not? |
NO
b/c over 100 serotypes |
|
Enterovirus:
- replicate where? - what ability makes that possible? |
GI
Stable at acid pH (can also grow warmer 37C places) |
|
If unimpeded, enteroviruses can go where from the GI?
Then can go where? |
Bloodstream (VIREMIA)
Central Nervous System (CNS) |
|
Infection with the enterovirus will most like give you what symptoms usually?
|
Asymptomatic
|
|
List three enteroviruses.
|
Poliovirus, echovirus, Coxsackie virus
|
|
Enterovirus:
- Primary transmission - Secondary transmission? |
Fecal-oral
Inhalation of respiratory droplets |
|
During the summer and fall seasons, most infections of enterovirus occurs with what population group?
|
Children
|
|
T/F - For enterovirus, a specific syndrome can by uniquely associated with one specific virus.
|
FALSE
Lots of overlap in clinical syndromes. |
|
Poliomyelitis:
- # of serotypes - # of phases - % of polio pts that develop paralytic poliomyelitis. - Paralytic poliomyelitis occurs mostly in what population group? |
3 serotypes
2 phases (biphasic) 1% develop paralytic poliomyelitis Adults mostly |
|
What is abortive polio?
|
When polio symptoms stop at the first phase of symptoms, and does NOT progress.
|
|
In the second phase of polio, what is the mechanism?
Clinical condition? |
Viremia causes spread to CNS
Aseptic meningitis |
|
Paralytic Poliomyelitis
- what percent of polio pts? - mostly what population group? - clinical symptom - pathogenesis |
1 percent
Mostly adults Flaccid paralysis Destruction of motor neurons in the anterior horn of Cervical or Lumbar spinal cord. |
|
What is spinal poliomyelitis?
|
Destruction motor neurons of the anterior horn of spinal cord (C or L)
|
|
Bulbar paralysis:
- associated with what enterovirus disease - pathogenesis - symptoms - fatality? |
Poliomyelitis
Damage to neurons in the brainstem Inability to smallow and breathe Often fatal |
|
Encephalitis
- associated with what enterovirus disease? - pathogenesis |
poliomyelitis
replication in the motor cortex |
|
In post polio syndrome,
what virus is responsible? |
No virus present
|
|
In Enterovirus associated aseptic meningitis, what is the most prevalent population group?
|
Children
|
|
Pleurodynia:
- aka x3 - symptoms x2 |
Bornholm dz
Epidemic myalgia Devil's grip Intense CP Intense upper abd pain |
|
Herpangina:
- which herpes virus - classic sign |
NONE. This is still enterovirus
Gray Papulovesicular lesions to fauces, throat, tongue, tonsils |
|
Hand-foot-mouth disease:
- symptoms x2 - specific virus associated - possibly enter internal system? |
Enanthem
(red ulcerative lesions to mouth) Exanthem (vesicular lesions to hand and foot) Enterovirus 71 Can enter CNS (past epidemics had fatality with Encephalitis and Myocarditis) |
|
Enterovirus eye disease
- virus responsible - major symptom |
Enterovirus 70
Acute Hemorrhagic Conjunctivitis |
|
Enterovirus Cardiac disease
- name two diseases - mechanism responsible |
Acute Myocarditis
Dilated Cardiomyopathy AUTOIMMUNE response |
|
Diagnosis method in lab testing for enterovirus.
Limitation? |
RT-PCR assay
Can tell you enterovirus, but not which one |
|
Three eras of the poliomyelitis epidemiology
|
Endemic
Epidemic Vaccine Era |
|
IPV:
- administered how - contains - discoverer |
IV
Inactive (Killed) virus of all THREE serotypes SalK |
|
OPV:
- administered how - contains - discoverer |
OrAL
Live Attenuated virus of all three serotypes sAbin |
|
OPV benefits x2
|
B/c alive, can replicate in GI, forcing a IgA response immunity:
Thus, - Mucosal immunity in GI - Temporary excretion with vaccine-virus can infect-immunize a close contact |
|
OPV drawback x1
|
Serotype 3 has the tendency to revert to NEUROVIRULENT, causing VAPP (Vaccine Associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis)
|
