What diseases are caused by Epstein-Barr? | Infectious Mono Burkitts Lymphoma Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma B-Cell lymphoma |
What are the symptoms of Infectious Mono? | Fever, Fatigue, Sore Throat, Swollen Lymph nodes |
What are the EBV specific antibodies? | Anti-VCA (viral capsid antigen) Anti-EA (early antigen) Anti-EBNA (epstein-barr nuclear antigen) |
What antigens can be tested in EBV? | EA-R (early antigen restricted) EA-D (early antigen diffuse) VCA - (viral capsid antigen) MA- (membrane antigen) EBNA- (epstein-barr nuclear antigen) EBNA-1 LYDMA- (lymphocyte determined membrane antigen) |
How is Cytomegalovirus transmitted? | Saliva Sexual contact Parenterally Blood/Organ transplants |
What are the clinical manifestations of CMV? | Encephalitis Retinitis Pneumonia Gastroenteritis |
What is the immune response for CMV? | IgM is produced against early infection. IgG peaks at 2-3 months CD8 and NK cellular response |
What testing is done for CMV? | ELISA - Confirm RIA IHA |
