Study Notes
Paramyxovirus
- Single stranded Negative Sense RNA Virus
- Replicates in the cytoplasm (except for Orthomyxovirus)
Measles (Rubeola)
- Enveloped virus
- Transmission: respiratory droplets
- Live MMR vaccine (contraindicated in pregnant women)
- Diagnosed with: Cough, Conjunctivitis, Kopliks spots (blueish spots on a red background near the molars on the mucosa), Coryza
- Symptoms: fever (up to 104°F), maculopapular rash (starts on the head and works down), confluence rash
- Complications: pneumonia, Subacute sclerosing pan encephalitis (SSPE)
- Treatment: Vitamin A to reduce mortality and complications
Mumps
- Replicates in salivary glands
- Causes: parotitis, orchitis (inflammation of epididymis), impaired fertility, testicular atrophy
- Meningitis can also occur
- Vaccine: MMR Vaccine
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
- Attaches to G protein to infect respiratory epithelial cells
- Causes: bronchiolitis, pneumonia (most common cause in infants)
- Virulence factors: fusion protein, syncytium
- Treatment: Ribavirin (in adults), Palivizumab (monoclonal antibody)
Parainfluenza
- Causes: croup in children (infection/obstruction of upper airways), inspiratory stridor (howling noise)
- Radiographic sign: steeple sign on x-ray
- Virulence factors: NA, HA, Fusion
