More Immune Control in Chronic Viral Infections Summary: Bruce Walker seeks to determine how the immune system controls chronic viral infections and to augment antiviral immunity for therapeutic benefit. Correlates of Immune Protection in HIV Infection Evolution of Immune Responses in Acute HIV Infection We recently demonstrated that the specificity of the CTL response in chronic HIV infection differs from that in acute infection, and that some CTL responses that are dominant in chronic infection are not generated until well after the initial decline in viremia in acute infection. Through a unique cohort of persons with treated acute HIV infection, we are assessing the earliest targets of the immune response in human viral infection. Among the hypotheses to be tested are (1) high-affinity and high-avidity CTL responses are generated earliest against HIV, and (2) loss of these initial responses occurs at the time of highest viral load, with resultant evolution of clonal responses that are less effective at controlling viremia. Correlates of Loss of Immune Control in HIV Infection T cells underlie the lack of immune control in the chronic phase of infection, and the extent to which these defects may be linked to abnormal CD4

RESOURCE LIBRARY Viral infections Co-Existing Disorders Viral infections Author: MA Goldstein and CL Harden Investigators fail to identify an etiologic agent in up to 75% of cases of presumed viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS). Indeed, the confusing term aseptic meningitis is a testament to the historic difficulty of definitively isolating an etiologic agent in presumed viral meningitides. Amplification of viral nucleic acids from cerebrospinal fluid, as done by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), for example, has considerably improved diagnosis of several acute, subacute, and chronic viral CNS infections. PCR has become the method of choice for rapid, noninvasive diagnosis of herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis . Herpes viruses that can now be reliably diagnosed include: herpes simplex virus (HSV) cytomegalovirus (CMV) varicella-zoster virus (VZV) Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) In acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), PCR can help differentiate lesions due to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) itself from those due to opportunistic infections, such as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) caused by Jamestown Canyon virus or CMV-related complications.

UNSW Embryology Abnormal Development - Viral Infection Acknowledgements Introduction Viruses cannot reproduce by themselves and therefore infect cells to use the cell machinery to produce more virus. Different viruses have genetic material as single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA. The infectious virus particle is called a "virion" and is the genetic material packed in a protein shell. Viruses come in many genetic sizes, as little as 4 proteins up to 200 proteins. Many different types of viral infections can have impacts on development, either directly by the infection or indirectly by fever and other side-effects of infection. Rubella virus "German Measles" infection during pregnancy is one of the most serious causing congenital rubella syndrome with serious malformations of the developing fetus. (More? see Rubella page Some early postnatal viral infections can also impact upon development and have been the target for worldwide immunization and eradication (More? see Polio Note also that many cancers can be caused by viruses (papilloma viruses, hepatitis B and C viruses, Epstein-Barr virus and human T-cell lymphotropic virus). Virus-induced cancers account for about 20% of worldwide cancer incidence.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Causes Symptoms Risk factors Prognosis Diagnosis Treatment Vaccinations Prevention Resources Introduction Encephalitis is the medical term for inflammation of the brain, a potentially life-threatening condition that can occur in people of all ages but which is fortunately very rare. According to a 2002 report, it results in 19,000 hospitalizations and 1,400 deaths each year. The most known common cause of encephalitis is an infection (a virus or other agent). In nearly 60% of cases the cause of encephalitis is unknown. When a cause can be detected it is most commonly an infection (a virus in over 38% of cases and other agents in 34%). This report focuses on viral encephalitis. Encephalitis: Viral Infection of the Brain Many viruses can cause encephalitis. The West Nile virus, for example, has been responsible for the recent high-profile outbreaks in the US. Most people exposed to these viruses have no symptoms or only a mild flu-like illness and do not go on to develop full-blown encephalitis. In severe cases, however, the infection can have devastating effects, including the following:

This article is concerned with virus as a biological infectious particle; for other uses of the term see virus (disambiguation) . An extensive treatment of the pluralization of the word "virus" in English is found in the article Plural of virus . A list of biological viruses has also been prepared. For a malicious computer program, see computer virus A virus is a small particle that infects cells in biological organisms. Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites ; they can reproduce only by invading and controlling other cells as they lack the cellular machinery for self reproduction. The term virus usually refers to those particles which infect eukaryotes (multi-celled organisms and many single-celled organisms), whilst the term bacteriophage or phage is used to describe those infecting prokaryotes bacteria and bacteria-like organisms). Typically these particles carry a small amount of nucleic acid (either DNA or RNA , but not both) surrounded by some form of protective coat consisting of proteins lipids glycoproteins or a combination.

Whooping Cough Young children are highly sensitive to viruses. Their resistance to infectious agents may still be low, just as their exposure to them increases. A virus can enter the body in many ways besides food, fluids, and bites from insects or animals. The infectious secretions from viruses are passed on to others by coming in contact with them. They can be inhaled from airborne particles from coughs and sneezes. Touching or holding hands with an infected person and then rubbing the eyes or nose is a common way to "catch" a virus. Viral particles may be on surfaces of toys, doorknobs, tables or telephones. There are approximately 200 known viruses that cause disease in humans. Over 100 of these cause "colds". Viruses attack different parts of the body to produce different problems. Some cause a sore throat, cough, runny nose, headache, or muscle ache. Others cause abdominal symptoms such as nausea, cramping and diarrhea. Other examples of viral infections in children include specific viral syndromes such as: * chicken pox

Home Archives Eurosurveillance monthly releases 2005 Volume 10 / Issue 2 ... previous page Surveillance report Trends in risk of transfusion-transmitted viral infections (HIV, HCV, HBV) in France between 1992 and 2003 and impact of nucleic acid testing (NAT) volume issue publication date February 2005 page PDF This document is also available in printer friendly pdf format J Pillonel , S Laperche 1. Institut de veille sanitaire, Saint-Maurice, France. 2. Institut national de la transfusion sanguine, Paris, France. Monitoring trends in residual risk of transfusion-transmitted viral infections is important to assess improvements in blood safety and to adapt the risk reduction policies. These trends were analysed in France over 4 periods of 3 years (1992-1994, 1995-1997, 1998-2000 and 2001-2003). The 2001-2003 estimates were compared to the results of HIV-1 and HCV NAT implemented on all blood donations in July 2001. Due to improvements in donor recruitment and selection, continuing progress in screening assays, and preventive measures taken in the community to control infections, a significant decrease was observed in residual risks for HIV, HCV and HBV between 1992 and 2003. The residual risk is currently extremely low: for the 2001-2003 period, this risk was estimated at 1 in 3.15 million donations for HIV, at 1 in 10 million for HCV and at 1 in 640 000 for HBV. Of the 6.14 million donations screened with NAT between July 2001 and December 2003 in France, 2 HIV-positive and 3 HCV-positive donations were discarded thanks to NAT, representing a yield of 1 in 3.07 million for HIV and 1 in 2.05 million for HCV. These results show the limited benefit of NAT and suggest that its cost-effectiveness is poor.

78. Medmicro Chapter 52 For selective chemotherapy of viral infections, a drug should inhibit virusreplication when used at concentrations not detrimental to the host. http://gsbs.utmb.edu/microbook/ch052.htm

Chemotherapy of Viral Infections Erik De Clercq General Concepts Basic Mechanisms Antiviral drugs specifically inhibit one or more steps of virus replication without causing unacceptable side effects. Approved Antiviral Drugs The approved antiviral drugs and the viruses and diseases they treat are amantadine and rimantadine (influenza A virus), ribavirin (respiratory syncytial virus), idoxuridine and trifluridine (topical treatment of herpetic keratitis), vidarabine and acyclovir (systemic treatment of herpes simplex virus and varicella-zoster virus infections), famciclovir and valaciclovir (oral treatment of varicella-zoster virus infections), ganciclovir and foscarnet (cytomegalovirus), and zidovudine, didanosine, zalcitabine and stavudine (human immunodeficiency virus). Future Antiviral Drugs To overcome the limitations of current antiviral drugs, more effective compounds are being developed that allow greater inhibition of viruses, greater selectivity for virus-specific functions, and fewer side effects, and may avoid emergence of resistant mutants. Main Targets for Antiviral Drugs Specific events in virus replication identified as targets for antiviral agents are viral adsorption, penetration, uncoating, and viral nucleic acid synthesis as well as viral protein synthesis. Specificity for infected cells may occur when virus-specified enzymes (e.g., thymidine kinase-induced by herpes simplex virus or varicella-zoster virus) activate drugs (e.g., acyclovir).
