Report on influenza – ethiology, epidermiology, pathogenesis, treatment
Ethiology - caused by influenza virus – orthomixoviridae family – 3 types A,B,C – single stranded RNA .
8
pieces.
Influenza A has 2 main surface antigens – Haemaglutin (H) & Neuraminidase (NA).
(H)- responcible for cell attachment to host cell and agglutination of RBC further divided into H1,H2,H3.
(NA) – Prevent self aggregation and promoting dispersion during budding of new virions from the infected cell.
Responsible for receptor destruction.
Divided into N1,N2.
Epidermiology – transmitted by humans, thru respiratory droplets.
IP – 6hrs- 2day
Antigenic shift – occurs when major change in antigenic type H2N2—H3N3 occurs due to new RNA segments
and are the reason for major pandemics.
Antigenic drift – relatively frequent minor changes in antigenic type H /
N this is due to small mutations in RNA segments.
Pathogenesis – Transmission via droplet inhalation – virus binds to respiratory epithelium – rep
