what are the intracellular bugs that cause respiratory things

whats the mnemonic for facultative intracellular
1. Mycoplasm
2. Chlamydia (obligate)
3. Francisella
4. Legionella

Some Nasty Bugs May Live FacultativeLy

1 Salmonella
2. Neisseria
3. Brucella
4. Mycobacterium
5. Listeria
4. Fransciella
5. Legionella
DNA virus replicates where?
RNA virus replicates where?
DNA- nucleus, except poxvirus
RNA- cytoplasm, except influenza and retrovirus
what is croup
syndrome: hoarsness, fever, barking cough in 6-18 mo kids. Due to laryngotracheobronchitis- complication of URI, constricts the trachea due to laryngeal edema

PIV 1
PIV 2
RSV
what commonly causes edema in the larynx as a complication of URI
PIV 1
PIV 2
RSV
**causes in that order

**its CROUP- hoarsness, fever, bark cough in 6 mo-18 mo
tell me about the PIV

classificaiton
genome
envelope
serotypes
Paramyxovirus
NONSEGEMNTED - sense RNA

*virion is enveloped with spikes

**4 serotypes
whats teh causative agent for croup
PIV 1 > PIV 2 >>>RSV
PIV is a paramyxovirus, what are 3 others
RSV
Measles
Mumps
whats the deal with PIV and an immune response
well its a non segmented RNA genome so it has a limited ability to make AG changes. so we should be able to to have a strong reaction and fight it. BUT what happens is you get immunity for like 20 years and then it wanes and as an adult you get a "cold" bc there is still some protection
we know there are 4 serotypes of PIV adn that 1 causes croup more often than 2 but what things make the serotypes different
1. Hemagglutinin and Neuroaminidase
2. Novel Fusion (F) protein that causes syntitia formation (fuse into one)
how is PIV spread and what does it do in the body and what are the clinical manifestation
1. droplets from infected ppl
2. Virus replicates in the upper respiratory epithelium (turbinates and ciliated epithelium) and sits there for like 2-6 days and then causes sore throat, harsh cough, SOB, and CROUP!!! croup clues us in to possible PIV infection
how does PIV manifest in kids?
Adults
Kids: croup, fever, rhinitis, sore throat, SOB

Adults: upper respiratory tract infection
what happens in immunocomprimised kids with PIV and RSV

what are 3 examples of immuno comprimised
can get mroe severe, adn enter lower respiratory tract

**chemotherapy
**BM recipients
**adults with leukemia
we know PIV causes croup and upper respiratory infection, waht are some other complications of it
1. Otitis Media- messes with pressure nad clearance from nasopharynx bacteria

2. Parotitis
when do we see PIV/Croup
Fall adn Winter

**prevalent in kids!!!!!!
do we get lifelong immunity with PIV infection
nope, it can be seen in adults but we dont get croup sx

- repeat infections are more mild
whats a steeple sign
its constriction of the trachea that is seen in x ray
how is PIV dx
direct viral isolation culture from throat swabs, FAB test (
how is PIV tx, vaccien?
supportive

None vaccine
what type of virus is RSV
paramyxovirus: - sense ssRNA

so are PIV, measles, mumbs,
does RSV have hemaggluntinin and neuroaminidase
nope, RSV infects via G protein spike and does cell fusion with an F spike

Just PIV has these hemagglutinin and neurominidase
what infects via G protein spike and dose cell fusion with F spike
RSV

PIV- uses hemagglutinin and neuroaminidase
RSV causes what
a LOWER respiratory tract infection (revall PIV is in upper)

**common in infants/kids. can be fatal in infants
why is RSV named as such
respiratory syntitial virus

**tendency to create syncytia in tissue culture (multinucleated giant cell)
what are the stranis of RSV
**distinguished based on AG variation in the G protein (G does attachment)

A- predominates and causes more severe disease

B
how dose RSV manifest in Adults and infants
Adults/Older Kids: URI

InfantsL bronchiolitis, pneumonia, sometimes croup. can be fatal. Excess mucus, narrow/plug bronchi. fever cough dyspnea
when do you expect RSV outbreaks
who is it prevalent in?
how is it spread
1. Winter

2. Young kids, adults can get reinfected. no lasting immunity- same was seen in PIV

3. PERSON to person contact, fomites
what makes a kid more likely to get RSV
1. If they were born 6 months b4 RSV season (april-sept) no longer have moms AB

2. Has older siblings

3. Day care

4. Lives in crowded conditinos

5. Was not breast fed
lets beat it to death

1. who gets RSV
2. When do they get it
3. tell me about adults nad RSV
4. spread/transmission
1. Kids- by the time your are 4 its most likely youve had it

2. winter

3. they get it, dont get super sick and pass it to a baby

4. Person to person, fomites, direct contacts
what is the most likely to introduce RSV to a babe
a preschool/school aged older sibling
what are 3 ways to dx RSV
1. Clinical presentation, a kid in the winter who may have croup

2. detection of viral AG- ELISA or immunofloursence. hard to culture must inoculate sample immediatly

3. Serology- 4x increase in AB titer
how is RSV tx
can use antiviral ribavirin for severe cases

**typically just tx synptomatically
what is ribavirin used for
its an anti viral used in severe cases of RSV
waht is the immunization for RSV like
non existant

**can have passive immunization in babues who are breast fed
is it easy to prevent RSV
all of those snotty nose kids playing all over each other?! NO WAY!!!!

hand wash, etc
what is a hemaglutinin test
there is Hemagglutinin in PIV (not RSV) so we can agglutinate the RBS with virus
RBC + VIRUS =

RBC + VIRUS + antiviral AB from Serum=
hemagglutination

Hemagglutiniation inhibition (the virus binds to the AB and RBC are free)
tell me about hemagglutinin inhibition
RBC Virus and antiviral AB from pt serum are all added and then the RBC DONT clump- the virus binds to the AB

**if blood doesnt clump the pt has AB to the virus
in a hmaggluttin in hibition assay what does it mean if...

1. RBC in a button on bottom
2. RBC aggluninate into a mass
1. it means there were antiviral AB present so the virus did NOT aggluniate the RBC

2. NO AB in serum, pt NOT infected
what does it mean that you need to have a 4x increase in AB titer if infection was present
you need to have hemagglutination with a more dilute solution
what does the virus control look like for HI assay
RBC + VIRUS

hemagglutination
what does the serum control look like for HI
Serum + RBC (no virus)

button, no agglutination
what does the cell control look like for HI
RBC only

button, no agglutionation
what is the control for HI, adn what will it look like

1. RBC only
2. Serum + RBC NO virus

3. Virus + RBC
1. Cell control, button, no agglutination

2. Serum control, button, no agglunination

3. Virus control, hemagglutinination
