what are the 3 major fever/rash diseases seen in children
roseola, B19 parvovirus, papillomavirus
were is the target cell for parvovirus?
the bone marrow
what is the major disease/syndrome seen with B19 parvovirus
Fifth's disease (aka slapped cheek disease)
a patient comes in with a lacelike rash on their arms as well as a rash on the cheeks of the face. What is the likely cause of this?
B19 parvovirus
Transient aplastic crisis (TAC) is what? what causes it?
affects precursor cells to red blood cells; see persistent anemia
in immunodeficiency

caused by B19 parvovirus
how is B19 parvovirus spread?
primarily by respiratory droplets

very common
what age will you see the majority of parvovirus infected patients?
6-15 account for 70%
if a woman is not immune to B19 PV at the time of conception, is there concern that the child can get the virus?
vertical transmission in approximately 1/4th of primary maternal infections.

90% of those are inconsequential again though
how does B19 PV spread in the body?
breathed in, cause fever, then move via lymph and blood to bone parrow
what stage in erythropoesis do you have infection via B19
at the proerythroblast stage it is expressing a large amount of P-antigen which the B19 virus can affect (may want more detail in this)
what will you see in a blood smear of someone with B19 PV?
you wont have reticulocytes (they aren't produced)
where does B19 get replicated?
in proerythroblasts
why do RBCs get destroyed (hemophagocytic syndrome) when you have B19PV?
the RBCs will be covered in B19 virus so macrophages come and destroy them, because they now appear to be foreign
in addition to proerythroblasts, what expresses P-antigen? what effect can this have?
Granulocytes and megakaryocytes have them

B19 can thus disrupt monocyte and platelet formation

this is small though
What is the major receptor for the B19PV?
p-antigen
how do you get arthritis associated with B19PV?
immune complexes will aggregate in the joint fluid
how do you get rash associated with B19PV?
immune complexes will aggregate on the wall of blood vessels
before the rash occurs in erythema infectiosum what would you see in a blood smear?
no reticulocytes

due to B19PV
a patient comes in with a fever of unknown origin. You do a blood smear and find no reticulocytes. What do you know they have?
B19 Parvovirus
an adult male comes to your office with rash on the hands and feet, what do you think they have?
gloves and socks syndrome

due to B19PV
when does gloves and socks sydrome occur ?

what about Fifth's Disease?
gloves and socks: at the time of the infection of B19pv

5ths: later than infection
what causes the gloves and socks appearance?
underlying capillaries have P-antigen that B19PV can bind to

the surface also has virus that can be easily transmitted
What is non-immune hydrops fetalis?
B19PV infection during pregnancy

greatest chance of adverse outcome is between 11 and 23 weeks of gestation.

affects the liver of child leading to anemia

fatality rate of 50%
what is a preventative treatment of non-immune hydrops fetalis?
fetal transfusion beneficial,
also postnatal IVIG
what is Transient Aplastic Crisis (TAC):
Follows B19 infection of patients with sickle cell disease, other hemolytic anemias, iron deficiency, ά and β thalassemias, other RBC deficiencies (rapid RBC turnover

Short RBC half-life (4-10 days) in SCA leads to hemoglobin deficiency
a patient with known and managed sickle cell disease comes to your office and is seriously anemic. Upon blood smear you find no reticulocytes. you immediately order a transfusion because your patient has?
Transient Aplastic Crisis (TAC)

B19PV
MAKE CARDS OFF SLIDE 10
it basically lays out how to diagnose
papilloma virus causes what?
benign tumors (warts)
what is responsible for 95% of malignant cervical carcinoma?
HPV
what is the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world?
HPV
Where does BK virus effect?
kidney
JC virus causes infection of the?
brain
What 2 genes in HPV are important in causing problems in humans?
E6 and E7 genes

affect cell cycle proteins
what does the E7 gene of papilloma virus cause?
retinoblastoma gene

no stop signal for growth
what does the E6 gene of HPV do?
inhibits p53

promotes telomerase
what is a condyloma?
mucocutaneous warts seen in HPV

high potential for malignancy
what layer of skin does the papilloma virus infect?
basal layer
does the B19 parvovirus replicate in the basal layer?
no just infects, doesn't have everything it needs to replicate
what is acanthosis?
hyperplasia of prickle cells in skin that leads to development of wart in HPV
what are koilocytes?
site of virus replication for HPV
you see large vacuoles with inclusion bodies on a slide of a suspected HPV patient. What are you looking at?
koliocytes
