Enveloped

Guarniernibodies (3)

1. Intracytoplasmicinclusion bodies in host cells

2. Sites of viral replication in cytoplasm

Variola - symptoms

1. raised blisters on skin andmucosal surfaces

2. lesions are same age for smallpoxversus (all different age for varicella)

Molluscumcontagiosum virus symptom

Flesh colored, dome-shapedumbilicated skin lesions in children, usually on trunk and can occur inmultiple places except palms on soles

How is molluscum contagiosum virus transmitted?

Sexually transmitted

How does molluscum contagiosum virus present in an immunocompetent adult?

Single lesion

Diffuse molluscum contagiosum infection in adults suggests...

HIV infection

Hepatitis B

What is the virus family of Hepatitis B?

Hepadnavirus family

Is Hepatitis B enveloped or naked?

Enveloped

What where does replication occur for Hepatitis B?

Intranuclear and cytoplasmicreplication

Mechanism of replication for Hepatitis B

Partially double-stranded DNA=> single stranded RNA => Reverse transcriptase => fully doublestranded DNA

Does Hepatitis B cross the placenta?

No, but still vertical transmission during delivery during mixing of blood

What is the chance newborns infected with hepatitis B will develop chronic infection?

90%

What is the chance adults infected with hepatitis B will develop chronic infection

<10%

Hepatitis B features (5)

1. Polyarteritis Nodosa (medium/smallarteries “bead on a string appearance”)

2. Purpuric rash – nonblanching darkmacules

3. Arthralgias

4. GlomerulonephritisMembranous glomerulonephritis –thickened glomerular BM

5. Membranoproliferativeglomerulonephritis – tram track appearance

Anti-HBc

What type of virus is Hepatitis D?

Circular Negative RNA virus

Is Hepatitis D an enveloped or naked?

enveloped

What is worse Hepatitis D superinfection or coinfection?

1. Superinfection = Hep D istransmitted on top of existing Hep B infection

2. Coinfection = Hep D is transmittedsimultaneously with Hep B infection
3. Superinfection is worse

How do you treat Hepatitis B infection?
