Study Notes
- DNA viruses encompass a variety of virus families, each with distinct characteristics and associated diseases.
Adenovirus
- Primarily causes respiratory illnesses.
- Can also result in gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and rashes.
Hepadnavirus
- Hepatitis B is a key disease caused by this virus family.
Poxvirus
- Poxvirus is the largest DNA virus.
- Smallpox, caused by the Variola virus, was declared eradicated worldwide in 1981 by the WHO.
Parvovirus
- Parvovirus is the smallest DNA virus.
- B19 parvovirus causes the 5th disease, also known as erythema infectiosum.
Herpesvirus
- Includes several human herpes virus variants (HHV).
- Herpes Simplex 1 (HHV-1) causes cold sores or fever blisters, which manifest as vesicles on the lips.
- It can also cause herpes whitlow, characterized by vesicles on the fingers.
- HHV-1 remains latent in the trigeminal nerve.
- Herpes Simplex 2 (HHV-2) is responsible for genital herpes and encephalitis.
- HHV-2 is carcinogenic and remains latent in the sacral nerve.
- Varicella-Zoster Virus (HHV-3, VZV) causes varicella (chickenpox).
- The virus lies dormant in the dorsal nerve root.
- Reactivation of latent HHV-3 results in shingles (herpes zoster), more commonly observed in individuals over 50 years old.
- Epstein-Barr Virus (HHV-4, EBV) leads to infectious mononucleosis (Mono, Glandular Fever, Kissing disease).
- It is more prevalent in young adults, and contact sports should be avoided during infection.
- EBV is carcinogenic.
- Cytomegalovirus (CMV, HHV-5) infections can be asymptomatic or mild.
- However, severe infections can occur in immunocompromised patients.
- CMV is the most common virus transmitted during pregnancy and can be transmitted sexually, through body fluids (blood, semen, urine, milk), or via transplanted tissues.
- CMV is carcinogenic.
- Human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) causes the 6th disease.
- HHV-7 and HHV-8 are carcinogenic.
Papillomavirus & Polyomavirus
- There are more than 90 viruses in this family.
- These viruses cause warts.
- Some are sexually transmitted and carcinogenic.
