Herpesviridae Flashcards
Enumerate the members of Alphaherpesvirinae.Where does their latency happen?
HSV1,HSV2,VSV/HSV3
Neurons
Which is not a property of Herpesviridae? A)Capsid with helical symmetry B)Enveloped C)Double stranded DNA viruses D)Only viruses assembled in the nucleus
A
Icosahedral dapat
Enumerate the members of Betaherpesvirinae. What is their common feature?
CMV, HHV6/HHV7
long periods of growth
Where does CMV produce latent infection? A.glands B.kidneys C.neurons D. A and B E. B and C
D

B
Enumerate members of Gammaherpesvirinae. Where do they commence their latency?
Epstein-Barr Virus & Kaposi sarcoma- associated herpesvirus
Lymphoid tissue
False about Herpes Simplex Virus
A. HSV1 & HSV2 have same characteristics (50-70%)
B. They antigenically cross-react with VZV
C. They are zoonotic
C
Humans only: natural host
How is herpes simplex virus transmitted?
Spread by contact; virus is shed in saliva, tears, genital and other secretions
Is this an accurate initial pathogenesis of HSV?
spreads locally –>short-lived viraemia (spread in the bloodstream) occurs –> dissemination in the body
Yes

• Most common manifestation of primary herpes infection
Acute Gingivostomatitis (‘singaw’)
Identify
• Recurrence of oral HSV
• A prodrome of tingling, warmth or itching at the site usually heralds the recurrence
• About 12 hours later, redness appears followed by papules and then vesicles
Herpes labialis/cold sore
Herpes simplex virus does not manifest in the: A. eye B. ear C. genitals D. brain
B
IV acyclovir is given in all cases
of suspected HSE before lab results are available.
