Major Drugs Aman.tadine, Riman.tadine Foscarnet, Acyclovir, Ganciclovir Foscarnet, Ribavirin AZT, DDI, DDC, D4T, 3CT Ritonavir Indinavir Saquinavir Zanamivir Oseltavimir
thymidine kinase of host cell ACYCLOVIR TRIPHOSPHATE inhibit DNA polymerase (DNA chain) DNA polymerase seen in HSV & VZV Use: o viral shedding in genital herpes o Acute neuritis in shingles o Symptoms in early chickenpox (only lessen the lesion) *given on the early stage (few lesions) o Prophylactic in immunocompromised MOT of chickenpox: Respiratory droplet AE: in IV (crystalluria & Neurotoxic) Resistance: o due to changes in DNA polymerase o decrease activity of TK Treated/ lessens the ff diseases: o Herpes lesion painful vesicular lesion o Herpes/ Cold sore reactivation of herpes infection o Chickenpox Shingles reactivated form; prone in immunocompromised

CD4 cells
Only prevent damage; NOT to inhibit!
Foscarnet
MOA: NOT an antimetabolite, but still (-) viral DNA & RNA polymerases USE: identical to Ganciclovir (HSV, VZV, CMV), but > activity versue acyclovir-resistant strains of HSV Form: IV AE: Dose-limiting nephrotoxicity with ATN, electrolyte calcium imbalance tremors & seizures
Non-Nucleoside RTIs
NOT given alone! Resistance emerges if used individually Additive/ Synergistic against HIV
Examples of NRTIs
Ribavirin
MOA: o Ribavirin monophosphate IMP dehydrogenase o Ribavirin triphosphate viral RNA polymerase & end capping of viral RNA Form: Aerosol, Topical USE: o RSV, Influenza A&B o Lassa fever o Hantavirus o Adjuncts to alpha-interferons in Hepa C AE: o Hematotoxic, o Upper airway irritation o Teratogenic
Ganciclovir
MOA: same as Acyclovir (NOT DNA chain termination) Resistance: same as acyclovir USE: HSV, VZV, CMV (prophylaxis & tx) o CMV can cause retinitis, IMI Form: Oral, IV, & Retinal implant AE: o Dose-limiting hematotoxicity (WBC) o Mucositis o Fever, rash, crystalluria
Zalcitabine, DDC
Acyclovir
MOA: ACYCLOVIR thymidine kinase ACYCLOVIR MONOPHOSPHATE

MMR-given @ 15 mos of age CONGENITAL RUBELLA Transplacental if mom is infected (1st trimester) *Presentation: o Microencephaly o MR o Sensorineural deafness o Cataract o Pulmonary stenosis o PDA, VSD, TOF o Small patiens (sometimes) o +IUGR Prevention o Dont expose pregnant to infected person o One strain (95%) Protect via vaccine Diagnostic test o Heme agglutination inhibition o For congenital rubella Known IgM cannot be transmitted via placenta If IgM present = infection
Infants <1yr Fever rash .fever40C .fever subside & rash appear
RUBELLA Can cause German measles/ 3 day measles/ Post natal rubella Under Togaviridae Classified: Rubiviruses (only member) Transmission: o Inhalation of respiratory droplets o Transplacental (congenital rubella) Morphology: spike-like, hemaglutinincontaining surface projections POST-NATAL RUBELLA Non-specific signs & symptoms o Fever, cough, colds Specific signs & symptoms o 7-14 days incubation period Maculopapular rash (3days rash) o 1st day face o 2nd day trunk o 3rd day lower extremities NO more in face & trunk Tx: Supportive & MMR (live attenuated)
POLIOVIRUS
PEECORnA Includes: P polio E entero E echo CO coxsackie R rhino A hepatitis A Picornaviridae Smallest ss(+) RNA virus Naked o Resistant to detergent/ alcohol o Survive in acidic pH/ salty water PicoRNAviridae Multiply in CYTOPLASM Icosahedral ALL virus here are: o Fecal-oral transmission EXCEPT RHINO respiratory Acid-labile 3 strains (1,2,3) Most infections are 90% asymptomatic, small % cause fever (viremia) Smaller % cause ASEPTIC meningitis Poliomyelitis (flaccid paralysis) even 12% results from viral damage to anterior horn (causing atrophy Prevented by vaccine: need TRIVALENT vaccines, 2 types: o SALK (Killed/ injectable) or inactive, can give to: Immunocompromised Pregnant mom But NOT lifelong immunity o SABIN (live/oral/best gut immunity) or activated OPV, with lifelong immunity Prob: can be reactivated in immunocomp NOT given in preggy For paralytic NO treatment
COXSACKIE
COXSACKIE A
Diseases 1. Herpangina (vesicles on soft pa fauces) Vesicular same with chickenpox with blisters only in hand & foot 2. Hand-foot & mouth disease (oral lesions primarily in the anterior buccal mucosa) 3. *Aeptic meningitis absence bacterial culture BUT with symptoms of meningitis 4. Acute lymphoglandular pharyngitis 5. Common cold/ Rhinovirus
COXSACKIE B
Bornhomns disease (AKA pleurodyna or Devils grip; severe intercostal pain, fever *with Aseptic meningitis Severe systemic illness of newborns Possible link to acute-onset, insulindependent diabetes in young children Myocarditis
ENTEROVIRUS
Summer-fall peak incidence Fecal-oral transmission but DO NOT CAUSE diarrhea Peak age group <9 years for most STABLE at pH3 Resistant to alcohol, detergents because there is NO envelope
RHINOVIRUSES
