Raccoons, bats, skunks: may carry:   Rabies; give Ig, Rabies vaccine if animal is not caught and tested  
🗑
Agents of Viral Meningitis (aseptic):   Enterovirus (ECHO, Coxsackie A & B), HSV-2; possibly mumps  
🗑
EBV is what kind of virus?   Human Herpesvirus (HHV 4): enveloped DNA virus  
🗑
EBV S/S   Fever, sore throat, posterior LAD, 50% splenomegaly  
🗑

🗑
VZV incubation =   10-20 days; esp contagious day before rash appears  
🗑
HIV MOA   Infect cells w/T4 Antigen (esp CD4 helper inducer lymphs); CCR5 & CXCR4 chemokine receptors help viral entry. Also infect B lymphs & macrophages.  
🗑

🗑
Infant w/jaundice, HSM, low plt, periventricular CNS calcifications, MR, purpura =   CMV  
🗑
CMV complications include:   retinitis (if CD4 <50), esophagitis, odynophagia, pulmo in BMT (85% fatal), encephalitis  
🗑

🗑
HIV pathology   HIV-1 causes AIDS. HIV-2 slower progression.  
🗑
CDC Classification of HIV   A1-A3, B1-B3, C1-C3. A: Asymptomatic. 1: CD4 >500. 2: 200-499. 3: <200.  
🗑

🗑
Findings highly specific for HIV infection   Hairy leukoplakia of tongue, disseminated Kaposi sarcoma, cutaneous bacillary angiomatosis  
🗑
Hand-foot-mouth Dz organisms   Usually Coxcaskie A16 (enveloped RNA virus). Also Coxsackie A5 & A10 and Enterovirus 71  
🗑
Enterovirus 71 causes 4 forms of HFM Dz:   HFM/herpangina, CNS dz (hypoventilation, limb weakness), pulmonary edema, convalescence  
🗑
Mumps etiology   Paramyxovirus (enveloped single-stranded RNA virus). Droplet & urine transmission. 14-21 day incubation. Virus replicates in lymphoid tissue.  
🗑
Mumps target tissues   Salivary glands, pancreas, testes, ovaries, CNS

🗑
Rabies pathology   Incubation 3-7 weeks (may be 10 days to years). Via bite/saliva. Travels thru nerves to brain, multiplies, travels via efferent nerves to salivary glands  
🗑
Rabies prodrome   2-10 days of pain at bite. ST, fever, HA, N/V, temp sensitivity.  
🗑
Rabies CNS stage   Typically delirium alternating with calm. Painful laryngospasm (hydrophobia). May be paralytic and resemble GBS.  
🗑
RSV organism   Pneumovirus in paramyxovirus family: enveloped single-stranded virus

🗑
SARS clinical features   Persistent fever (>38C), rigors, cough, SOB, rales, rhonchi, HA, ST; watery diarrhea in late dz; malaise & delirium in elderly. Low WBC/lymphs, possibly mild DIC. SaO2 <95%  
🗑
West Nile fever pathology   Flavivirus (arbovirus). Mosquitos are vectors, birds are reservoir. Outbreaks late summer-early fall  
🗑
West Nile fever clinical features   Incubation 2-14 days. 20% have flulike symptoms for 3-6 days. 30% maculopapular rash face & trunk. Stiff neck, AMS, 10% flaccid paralysis, 5% seizures.  
🗑
West Nile fever clinical features by age   Younger patients: febrile syndrome. Adults: aseptic meningitis. Elderly: greatest mortality  
🗑
