Extractions: V. VIRUSES K. TYPES OF VIRAL INFECTIONS The overall purpose of this Learning Object is to learn some of the common terms used to describe the various types of viral infections in humans. LEARNING OBJECTIVES FOR THIS SECTION Viruses are infectious agents with both living and nonliving characteristics. 1. Living characteristics of viruses a. They reproduce at a fantastic rate, but only in living host cells. b. They can mutate. 2. Nonliving characteristics of viruses a. They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. b. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery. In other words, viruses don't grow and divide. Instead, new viral components are synthesized and assembled within the infected host cell. c. They possess DNA or RNA but never both. Viral Infections of Humans Most viruses that infect humans, such as those that cause routine respiratory infections (e.g., cold viruses, influenza viruses) and gastrointestinal infections (e.g., Rotaviruses, Norwalk virus), cause acute infections. Acute (def) infections are of relatively short duration with rapid recovery.

Research entire www.onderzoekinformatie.nl site fuzzy match Print View Titel Virale infecties, met bijzondere aandacht voor HIV Abstract Our research program focusses on the treatment and prevention of viral disorders. A main component of the program is the search to optimize the treatment of HIV-1 infection, with on one hand an effort to increase the potency of antiretroviral therapies, on the other hand an effort to understand and minimize toxicities of drugs utilized. These issues are being addressed in both clinical trials - on a local and on a global scale - and a national cohort study (ATHENA project). Another research line is prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV-1. This research is largely targetted at Africa, in settings where breastfeeding is the norm. The identification of effective, affordable and sustainable antiretroviral therapies for resource poor settings has become a research priority. Additional research lines are the treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus infections, in both HIV-1 co-infected and in non-co-infected patients, and Varicella zoster virus vaccination.

Extractions: Subscribe now >> What is viral hemorrhagic fever? Viral hemorrhagic fever is the collective name given to the diseases caused by a group of viruses such as Ebola virus and Marburg virus. The Ebola virus was named for the river in Zaire where it was discovered. Marburg virus was named for the city in Germany where the disease was first diagnosed. Viral hemorrhagic fever begins with fever and muscle aches and can result in a relatively mild illness or can lead to death. Where do these viruses come from? Although the source of these viruses in nature is unknown, this group of viruses can occasionally be found in rodents, ticks, and mosquitoes within endemic areas. Monkeys and humans are also susceptible and may become a source of virus if they become infected. Tissues of infected primates can also serve as a source of infection to staff in laboratories or in import and quarantine facilities that handle primates. How common are Ebola and Marburg viruses?

Viral Infections Herpes Simplex Virus There are two kinds of herpes simplex viruses. Herpes simplex I is the main cause of blisters or ulcers and itching on your lips. Herpes simplex II is the main cause of blisters on your genitals. Each virus can infect both your genitals and your mouth. Diagnosis is usually made by history of symptoms, physical examination, and viral culture (a cotton swab is used to take a sample from a moist sore and sent to the lab to be examined). Many people have been exposed to herpes. It can be passed on through sex, or from a mother to her baby during delivery. When you're first infected, herpes can cause an outbreak of sores. These outbreaks usually become fewer and further apart over time. Some people who have had herpes before and have recurrent episodes may take acyclovir regularly to help prevent further outbreaks. Active herpes infections are usually treated successfully with acyclovir, famciclovir, or valacyclovir. Sometimes foscarnet is used for herpes infections that fail to respond to the previously mentioned drugs. Herpes Zoster Virus (Shingles) The herpes zoster virus (also called varicella-zoster virus) is the same virus that causes chicken pox. Many people have been exposed to it. Inactive herpes zoster may flare up in HIV positive people. The virus infects nerve cells and causes painful blisters called vesicles. As the vesicles heal, they form hardened layers of scabs that look like shingles on a roof. Shingles often appear on the trunk of your body (chest, belly and back), usually only on one side. You can also get them on your arms, legs and face. An outbreak of shingles can last weeks or months if it's not treated. Since the vesicles are on nerves, shingles are very painful. Most cases of shingles can be diagnosed just by looking at the pattern of the blisters. In other cases, diagnosis is made by testing the fluid and cells scraped from a blister.

http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/bacterial_viral/fifth.html

Extractions: Especially common in children between the ages of 5 and 15, fifth disease typically produces a distinctive red rash on the face that makes the child appear to have a slapped cheek. The rash then spreads to the trunk, arms, and legs. Despite being called a "disease," fifth disease is actually just a viral illness that the majority of children will recover from - with no complications - in a short period of time. Fifth disease (also called erythema infectiosum) is caused by parvovirus B19. A human virus, parvovirus B19 is not the same parvovirus that veterinarians may be concerned about in pets, especially dogs, and it cannot be passed from humans to animals or vice versa. Studies show that although 40% to 60% of adults worldwide have laboratory evidence of a past parvovirus B19 infection, most of these adults can't remember having had symptoms of fifth disease. This leads medical experts to believe that most people with a B19 infection have either very mild symptoms or no symptoms at all. Fifth disease occurs everywhere in the world. Outbreaks of parvovirus tend to happen in the late winter and early spring, but there may also be sporadic cases of the disease any time throughout the year.

Extractions: William Dexter, MD THE PHYSICIAN AND SPORTSMEDICINE - VOL 32 - NO. 7 - JULY 2004 In Brief: Viral skin infections, such as herpes simplex, molluscum contagiosum, and warts, are common in athletes. Visual inspection alone can often provide a diagnosis. The Tzanck test or a direct fluorescent antibody test for herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 can also establish an early diagnosis. If prevention strategies fail, early detection and treatment will help limit the spread of viral infections to other teammates. National Collegiate Athletic Association rules prohibit participation by players who have herpes virus infections unless they are properly treated; lesions of molluscum contagiosum and warts must be treated or securely covered before return to play in contact sports. T hree points underscore the need for clinicians and team physicians to have a thorough knowledge of viral skin infections: (1) the skin is an athlete's largest organ, (2) sports-related skin disorders are among the most common injuries affecting athletes, and (3) athletes and other active individuals have skin infections more often than sedentary individuals.

http://gsbs.utmb.edu/microbook/ch046.htm

Extractions: Persistent infections are characterized as those in which the virus is not cleared but remains in specific cells of infected individuals. Persistent infections may involve stages of both silent and productive infection without rapidly killing or even producing excessive damage of the host cells. There are three types of overlapping persistent virus-host interaction that may be defined as latent, chronic and slow infection. The mechanisms by which persistent infections are maintained involve both modulation of virus and cellular gene expression and modification of the host immune response. Reactivation of a latent infection may be triggered by various stimuli, including changes in cell physiology, superinfection by another virus, and physical stress or trauma. Host immunosuppression is often associated with reactivation of a number of persistent virus infections. Some viruses can establish persistent infection at the same time in different cell types of one or more tissues or organs. For example, the primary site for latency of cytomegalovirus is thought to be peripheral blood monocytes, but the virus may induce disease and can be detected in cells of several organs (e.g., kidney, lung, and those of the digestive or central nervous system). Table-1 categorizes selected human viruses by organ systems in which the virus is believed to be primarily persistent.

There are numerous consequences of hepatitis C viral (HCV) infections in some instances, as a result of a paucity of data, this review will be confined to the physical consequences of HCV infection as they pertain to the infected individual. Psychologic and financial implications of HCV infections will not be discussed nor will the consequences to family members, friends, colleagues, employers and the economy in general. Wherever possible, only data derived from studies or observations in which the diagnosis of HCV has been established serologically will be utilized. Due to the wide geographic distribution of the 20 different genetic variants (HCV genotypes) and the strong probability that the natural history of HCV infections are genotype-dependent, studies from North America and to a lesser extent, Europe, will be highlighted. What are the Consequences of Acute HCV Infections?

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a viral infection caused by a strain of Coxsackie virus. It causes a blister-like rash that, as the name implies, involves the hands, feet and mouth. (Hand, foot and mouth disease is different than foot-and-mouth disease, which is an infection of cattle, pigs, sheep, goats and deer and is caused by a different virus.) Who gets hand, foot and mouth disease? Usually this occurs in children under 10 years old, but occasionally can occur in young adults. How is it spread? The virus is spread by direct contact with nose and throat discharges, blisters and feces of infected people. What are the symptoms and when do they start?
