Rotavirus Facts and Figures
–RotaTeq® licensed in 2006
–Rotarix® licensed in 2008
•very severe, possibly fatal infection in ____ people; may cause up to 500,000 deaths/year in ____ countries where ___ is unavailable
Vaccine is relatively new. A lot of kids are immune bc they actually had the infection.
Crowding in underdeveloped world also helps to spread the infection.
Don’t need to know names of vaccines for each virus unless she REALLY emphasized it

Poliovirus Infections
•
Basically been eradiated in US. Last case in US was in 1980. But its still out there.
Paralytic polio is not the typical presentation.
Attenuated vaccine: Given in form of a sugar cube
Now we use an inactivated vaccine.
Advantages of attenuated vaccine are that you can infect target tissue and illicit immune response without getting disease

Adenovirus Characteristics
___, ____, ___ viruses
Naked so Stable in the environment
They have pentagon fibers that stick out. Fibers at vertices of pentagon are toxic to the cell
This is an important mechanism of pathogenesis of this virus
__ and __ cause enteric disease. ___ cause resp disease.
They can cause lytic infections, persistent infections and latent infections so they can hang around and cause problems

Common Adenovirus Illnesses
Most common illnesses of adenovirus infection is acute resp disease
5-10% of pediatric resp diesease is caused by adenovirus
Adenovirus conjunctivitis: not that easy to distinguish what would be caused by bacteria. If you have bad sore throat and then get conjuntivitis, you can almost be sure it is from adenovirus
Wide variety of clinical manifestations
Most significant ones are GI disease and resp disease
Problems in people who are __ ____
•gastroenteritis–15% of
gastroenteritis in hospitalized patients

Adenovirus Disease Mechanisms
____ objects
Virus in saliva can cause infection in the eyes
Swimming in contaminated pools
Virus can infect epithelial cells of resp tract, GI, and conjuctiva
Causes direct cell damage by the fibers that she talked about
