Study Notes
Parvovirus
- Parvovirus B19 can cause fifth disease (erythema infectiosum), primarily affecting children.
- Aplastic crisis can occur in individuals with hemoglobinopathies like sickle cell disease, leading to severe anemia.
Polyomavirus
- JC virus is linked to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare but serious brain disease often affecting immunocompromised individuals.
- BK virus can lead to kidney and bladder infections, particularly in patients with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing transplantation.
Papillomavirus
- Human Papillomavirus (HPV) can cause genital warts (condylomata acuminata) and is associated with cervical cancer.
- Certain HPV strains significantly increase the risk of various cancers, necessitating regular screenings and vaccinations.
Adenovirus
- Adenovirus infections impact multiple body systems, commonly resulting in respiratory issues such as colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia.
- Infections can also manifest in the eyes as conjunctivitis (pink eye) and cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
Hepadnavirus
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a key member of the hepadnavirus family, responsible for hepatitis B infection.
- Hepatitis B can lead to acute and chronic liver diseases, increasing the risk of complications like liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).
