rotavirus, adenovirus, astrovirus, caliciviruses

3
Q

common features of enteric:

A

mainly fecal oral transmit, similar clinical pic in patient, self limiting/nausea/vomit/diarrhea, etc.

Norovirus

A

longterm care facilities in winter

6
Q

what is outbreak?

A

> 2 cases linked by common exposure or location over specific time period

7
Q

mech of norovirus

A

virus attach/enter/replicate, lytic infection cycle destroys host cells, retransmit, localized damage to gut epithelium (symptoms), self limiting

8
Q

typical clinical features of norvirus

A

2-3 day incubation, 1-5 days watery diarrhea, severe dehydration, continue shed virus for 2 wks after symptoms gone

9
Q

supportive therapy for noro?

Q

what is encephalitis?

A

brain inflammation

12
Q

what is meningitis?

A

inflammation of protective covering of brain

13
Q

what is poliomyelitis?

A

destruction of motor neurons in brain/spine

14
Q

small enveloped RNA virus example of vector-borne (insect)

A

west nile virus

15
Q

what is WNV transmission cycle?

A

natural host is birds–>transmit to each other thru mosquito–>humans and animals are incidental hosts–>can’t transmit to other humans and can’t spread thru contact with birds

16
Q

how transfer WNV to human to human?

A

organ transplants, blood transfusion, mother/child in birth

prob of interferon?

A

need lots of dosing, lots of side effects, long treatment times, cost a lot, only 35-50% response rate

29

A

no virus detected after min. 24 wks after

32
Q

success rate for cure depend on:

A

health, genotype of virus, patient compliance

33
Q

A

lack of obvious symptoms in nmost people, risk of long term liver damage even without prior obvious symptoms
