A virus is an obligate intracellular parasite containing genetic material surrounded by protein
Virus particles can only be observed by an electron microscope
Most viruses range in sizes from 20 – 250 nanometers
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites
Viruses are non-living entities
Viruses cannot make energy or proteins independent of a host cell (Depends on host cell for replication)
Viral genome are either RNA or DNA but not both.
Viruses have a naked capsid or envelope with attached proteins
Do not possess cellular organization
Viruses do not have the genetic capability to multiply by division.
They are NOT cultiviable on ordinary media.
Much smaller than bacteria
“Filterable agents” – can pass through filters that can hold back bacteria

No Human to human transmission.
Rickettsia are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected arthropod vector.
Multiply at the site of entry and enter the blood stream.
Localise in the vascular endothelial cells and multiply to cause thrombosis lead to rupture & necrosis
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) may be defined as any febrile illness (temperature greater than 38°C) lasting 3 weeks or longer, without any obvious cause and failure to reach a diagnosis despite one week of inpatient investigation.
In these conditions there is thus a special need for a lab diagnosis
to guide the choice of
appropriate therapy.

polio virus lecture for MBBS
The picornaviruses are small (22 to 30 nm) nonenveloped, single-stranded RNA viruses with cubic symmetry. The virus capsid is composed of 60 protein subunits, each consisting of four poly-peptides VP1–VP4. Because they contain no essential lipids, they are ether resistant. They replicate in the cytoplasm.
Polio: flaccid paralysis, major and minor
disease, fecal-oral
Coxsackievirus A: vesicular diseases,
meningitis; coxsackievirus B (body):
pleurodynia, myocarditis
Other echovirus and enteroviruses: like
coxsackievirus
Rhinoviruses: common cold, acid labile, does
not replicate above 33° C
Biology, Virulence, and Disease
• Small size, icosahedral capsid, positive RNA
genome with terminal protein
• Genome is sufficient for infection
• Encodes RNA-dependent RNA polymerase,
replicates in cytoplasm
Enteroviruses
• Capsid virus resistant to inactivation
• Disease due to lytic infection of important
target tissue
• Polio: cytolytic infection of motor neurons of
anterior horn and brainstem, paralysis

and-mouth disease, common cold,
meningitis
• Coxsackievirus B: pleurodynia, neonatal
myocarditis, type 1 diabetes
Rhinoviruses
• Acid labile and cannot replicate at body
temperature
• Restricted to upper respiratory tract
• Common cold
Epidemiology
• Enteroviruses transmitted by fecal-oral route
and aerosols
• Rhinoviruses transmitted by aerosols and
contact
Diagnosis
• Immune assays (ELISA) or RT-PCR genome
analysis of blood, CSF, or other relevant
sample
Treatment, Prevention, and Control
• OPV and IPV polio vaccines

icornaviridae is one of the largest families of viruses and
includes some of the most important human and animal
viruses (Box 46-1). As the name indicates, these viruses are
small (pico) ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses that have a
naked capsid structure. The family has more than 230
members divided into nine genera, including Enterovirus,
Rhinovirus, Hepatovirus (hepatitis A virus; discussed in
Chapter 55), Cardiovirus, and Aphthovirus. The enterovi-
ruses are distinguished from the rhinoviruses by the stabil-
ity of the capsid at pH 3, the optimum temperature
for growth, the mode of transmission, and their diseases

Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

2. Picornaviruses
As the name indicates, these viruses are small (Pico) ribonucleic acid (RNA) viruses that
have a naked capsid structure.
Very large virus family with respect to the number of members
One of the smallest in terms of virion size and genetic complexity.
They include two major groups of human pathogens:
1.Enteroviruses and
2.Rhinoviruses.
Less common picornaviruses associated with human illness include hepatitis A virus,
parechovirus , cardiovirus , and Aichi virus.
Many picornaviruses cause diseases in humans ranging from severe paralysis to aseptic
meningitis, pleurodynia , myocarditis, vesicular and exanthematous skin lesions ,
mucocutaneous lesions, respiratory illnesses, undifferentiated febrile illness, conjunctivitis,
and severe generalized disease of infants. However, subclinical infection is far more
common than clinically manifest disease.

5. Structure and Composition
Virion: Icosahedral, 28–30 nm in diameter, capsid shell of 60 subunits
Composition: RNA (30%), protein (70%)
Genome: Single-stranded RNA, linear, positive sense, 7.2–8.4 kb in size, molecular weight 2.5
million, infectious, contains genomelinked protein (VPg)
Proteins: Four major polypeptides cleaved from a large precursor polyprotein. Surface capsid
proteins VP1 and VP3 are major antibody-binding sites. VP4 is an internal protein.
Envelope: None
Replication: Cytoplasm
Outstanding characteristic: Family is made up of many enterovirus and rhinovirus types that infect
humans and lower animals, causing various illnesses ranging from poliomyelitis to aseptic
meningitis to the common cold.
6. • Each of four proteins (VP1–VP4) arranged with icosahedral symmetry around a genome
made up of a single strand of positive-sense RNA . Parechoviruses are similar except that
their capsids contain only three proteins because VP0 does not get cleaved into VP2 and
VP4.
• The genome RNA ranges in size from 7.2 kb (human Rhinovirus) to 7.4 kb (poliovirus,
hepatitis A virus) to 8.4 kb (aphthovirus).
• The genome is polyadenylated at the 3′end and has a small viral-coded protein (VPg)
covalently bound to the 5′ end. The positive-sense genomic RNA is infectious.
• Whereas enteroviruses are stable at acid pH (3.0–5.0) for 1–3 hours, rhinoviruses are acid
labile. Enteroviruses and some rhinoviruses are stabilized by magnesium chloride against
thermal inactivation.
Structure and Composition
9. Replication
The picornavirus replication cycle occurs in the cytoplasm of cells .First, the virion attaches to a
specific receptor in the plasma membrane.
Receptor binding triggers a conformational change in the virion which results in release of the viral
RNA into the cell cytosol.
eIF4 is often cleaved by a viral protease, leading to shut-off of host protein synthesis and preferential
translation of viral RNAs.
The infecting viral RNA strand is copied, and that complementary strand serves as template for the
synthesis of new plus strands.
The mature virus particles are released when the host cell disintegrates.
The multiplication cycle for most picornaviruses takes 5–10 hours.
11. Polio
viruses
Properties of the virus
1) General Properties :
• An acute infectious disease.
• In it’s serious affects the CNS (Destruction of motor neurons in the spinal cord)
• Most poliovirus infections are subclinical.
• Poliovirus has served as a model enterovirus in many laboratory studies of the molecular biology of picornavirus
replication.
• Inactivated at 55°C for 30 minutes , while Mg2+, 1 mol/L, prevents this inactivation.
• Whereas purified poliovirus is inactivated by a chlorine concentration of 0.1 ppm , are required to disinfect sewage
containing virus in fecal suspensions .
12. PolioViruses
2) Animal Susceptibility and Growth of Virus
• Poliovirus requires a primate-specific membrane receptor for infection, and the absence
of this receptor on the surface of nonprimate cells makes them virus resistant .
• This restriction can be overcome by transfection of infectious poliovirus RNA into
resistant cells.
• Introduction of the viral receptor gene converts resistant cells to susceptible cells.
12
13. 13
PolioViruses
Pathogenesis and Pathology
• The mouth is the portal of entry of the virus, and primary multiplication takes place in
the oropharynx or intestine.
• regularly present in the throat and in the stools before the onset of illness.
• virus continues to be excreted in the stools for several weeks even though high
antibody levels are present in the blood.
• may be found in the blood of patients with nonparalytic poliomyelitis.
• Antibodies to the virus appear early in the disease, usually before paralysis occurs.
• the virus first multiplies in the tonsils, the lymph nodes of the neck, Peyer’s patches,
and the small intestine. The CNS may then be invaded by way of the circulating blood.
• In addition to pathologic changes in the nervous system, there may be myocarditis,
lymphatic hyperplasia, and ulceration of Peyer’s patches.
14. Clinical Findings
• Most infections are subclinical; only about 1% of infections result in clinical illness.
• The incubation period is usually 7–14 days, but it may range from 3 to 35 days.
o Mild Disease
most common form
fever, malaise, drowsiness ,headache , nausea, vomiting, constipation, and sore throat
Recovery in a few days
o Nonparalytic Poliomyelitis (Aseptic Meningitis)
In addition , stiffness and pain in the back and neck
Recovery within 2-10 days
Only one of many viruses that produce aseptic meningitis
small percentage advanced to paralysis
o Paralytic Poliomyelitis
The predominating complaint is flaccid paralysis from lower motor neuron damage.
Maximal recovery within 6 mounths
o Progressive Postpoliomyelitis Muscle Atrophy
Has been observed in individuals decades after their experience with paralytic poliomyelitis.
Rare

PolioVirusesPolioViruses
15. Epidemiology
• Before global eradication efforts began, poliomyelitis occurred worldwide—year-round in
the tropics and during summer and fall in the temperate zones. Winter outbreaks were rare.
• Children are usually more susceptible )acquired immunity of Adults)
• fatality rate is highest in oldest patients.
• Humans are the only known reservoir of infection.
Prevention and Control
• Both live-virus and killed-virus vaccines
• Killed-virus vaccine induces humoral antibodies but does not induce local intestinal
immunity so that virus is still able to multiply in the gut.
• Live-virus vaccine produces not only immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies in the
blood but also secretory IgA antibodies in the intestine, enabling mucosal immunity.
• After global eradication is achieved, the use of oral polio vaccine will cease. Continuation
of its use could lead to the reemergence of polio caused by mutation.
• Ig can’t prevent subclinical infection.
• Ig is effective only if given shortly before infection; it is of no value after clinical symptoms
develop. 15
PolioViruses
16. Coxsackie
viruses
Properties of the virus
1) General Properties : classified into HEV groups A, B, and C
They produce a variety of illnesses in humans, including:
aseptic meningitis and respiratory and undifferentiated febrile illnesses.
Herpangina (vesicular pharyngitis), hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis are
caused by certain coxsackievirus group A serotypes;
pleurodynia (epidemic myalgia), myocarditis, pericarditis, and severe generalized disease of infants are caused
by some group B coxsackieviruses.
A number of group A and B serotypes can give rise to meningoencephalitis and paralysis.
Generally, paralysis produced by nonpolio enteroviruses is incomplete and reversible.
Coxsackie B viruses are the most commonly identified causative agents of viral heart disease in humans .
The coxsackieviruses tend to be more pathogenic than the echoviruses.
17. Coxsackieviruses
Pathogenesis and Pathology
• Virus has been recovered from the blood in the early stages of natural infection in humans.
• Virus is also found in the throat for a few days early in the infection and in the stools for
up to 5–6 weeks.
Clinical Findings
• The incubation period ranges from 2 to 9 days.
• Although the gastrointestinal tract is the primary site of replication for enteroviruses, they
do not cause marked disease there .
• A number of coxsackieviruses have been associated with common colds and with
undifferentiated febrile illnesses.
• Aseptic meningitis is caused by all types of group B and by many group A .The
disease sometimes progresses to mild muscle weakness suggestive of paralytic
poliomyelitis.
• Herpangina is a severe febrile pharyngitis that is caused by certain group A viruses.
The illness is self-limited and most frequent in small children.
17
18. Coxsackieviruses
Clinical Findings
• Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is characterized by oral and pharyngeal ulcerations
and a vesicular rash of the palms and soles that may spread to the arms and legs.
Vesicles heal without crusting, which clinically differentiates them from the vesicles
of herpesviruses and poxviruses. Virus may be recovered not only from the stool and
pharyngeal secretions but also from vesicular fluid.
• Pleurodynia (also known as epidemic myalgia) is caused by group B viruses. Fever
and stabbing chest pain are usually abrupt in onset. The illness is self-limited and
recovery is complete, although relapses are common.
• Myocarditis is an acute inflammation of the heart or pericarditis. Infections may be
fatal in neonates or may cause permanent heart damage at any age.
• Generalized disease of infants is an extremely serious disease caused by group B
coxsackieviruses. in which the infant is overwhelmed by simultaneous viral
infections of multiple organs of visceral , including the heart, liver, and brain. The
clinical course may be rapidly fatal, or the patient may recover completely.
18
19. Epidemiology
• Viruses of the coxsackie group have been encountered around the globe. Isolations have
been made mainly from human feces, pharyngeal swabbings, and sewage.
Prevention and Control
• There are no vaccines or antiviral drugs currently available for prevention or treatment of
diseases caused by coxsackieviruses;
• Symptomatic treatment is given.
19
Coxsackieviruses
20. Other
Enterovirus
• Echoviruses (enteric cytopathogenic human orphan viruses), based on historical terminology, were grouped together
because they infect the human enteric tract .
Clinical Findings
• Many echoviruses have been associated with aseptic meningitis.
• Rashes are most common in young children.
• For many echoviruses, no disease entities have been defined.
• Enterovirus 70 is the chief cause of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. most common in adults, with an
incubation period of 1 day and a duration of 8–10 days. Complete recovery is the rule.
• Enterovirus 71 has been isolated from patients with meningitis, encephalitis, and paralysis resembling
poliomyelitis. One of the main causes of CNS disease, sometimes fatal, around the world.
21. Other Enterovirus
Epidemiology
• They occur in all parts of the globe and are more apt to be found in younger than in older
individuals.
• infections occur chiefly in the summer and autumn .
Control
• Avoidance of contact with patients exhibiting acute febrile illness is advisable for very
young children.
• There are no antivirals or vaccines (other than polio vaccines) available for the treatment
or prevention of any enterovirus diseases.
21
22. Enteroviruses
in the Environment
• Humans are the only known reservoir for members of the human enterovirus group.
• These viruses are generally shed for longer periods of time in stools than in secretions from the upper alimentary
tract.
• Enteroviruses survive exposure to the sewage treatments and chlorination in common practice.
25. Rhinoviruses
• Common cold viruses
• Most commonly recovered agents from people with mild upper respiratory illnesses
• Also responsible for about half of asthma exacerbations
Properties of the Virus
• more thermostable than other enteroviruses
• infectious only for humans, gibbons, and chimpanzees.
• Most grow better at 33°C, which is similar to the temperature of the nasopharynx
in humans, than at 37°C.
25
26. Rhinoviruses
Pathogenesis and Pathology
• Enters via the upper respiratory tract
• High titers of virus in nasal secretions—which can be found as early as 2–4 days after
exposure—are associated with maximal illness.
• Replication is limited to the surface epithelium of the nasal mucosa.
• Rhinoviruses rarely cause lower respiratory tract disease in healthy individuals.
Clinical Findings
• The incubation period is brief—from 2 to 4 days—and the acute illness usually lasts for
7 days, although cough may persist for 2–3 weeks.
• The average adult has one or two attacks each year.
• Secondary bacterial infection may produce acute otitis media, sinusitis, bronchitis, or
pneumonitis, especially in children
26
27. Rhinoviruses
Immunity
• Antibody develops 7–21 days after infection.
• Because recovery from illness usually precedes appearance of antibody, it seems that
recovery is not dependent on antibody. However, antibody may accomplish final clearance
of infection.
• Serum antibody persists for years but decreases in titer.
Epidemiology
• occurs throughout the world
• the attack rates are highest in early fall and late spring
• The virus is believed to be transmitted through close contact by means of virus contaminated
respiratory secretions. The fingers of a person with a cold are usually contaminated.
• Infection rates are highest among infants and children and decrease with increasing age.
27
28. Rhinoviruses
Treatment and Control
• No specific prevention method or treatment is available.
• The development of a potent rhinovirus vaccine is unlikely because of the difficulty in
growing rhinoviruses to high titer in culture, the fleeting immunity, and the multiplicity
of serotypes causing colds.
• Many compounds effective in vitro have failed to be effective clinically.
28
29. Parechovirus
Properties of the Virus
• Parechoviruses are highly divergent from enteroviruses, with no protein sequence having
greater than 30% identity with the corresponding protein of other picornaviruses.
• The capsid contains three proteins because the VP0 precursor protein does not get
cleaved.
• Infections are often acquired in early childhood.
• replicate in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts.
• cause diseases similar to other enteroviruses, such as mild gastrointestinal and
respiratory illness, meningitis, and neonatal sepsis.
• Human parechovirus 1 was one of the 15 most common enterovirus detections from
2006 to 2008.

30. Aphthovirus
Properties of the Virus
• This highly infectious disease of cloven-hoofed animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, and
goats.
• In humans, the disease is characterized by fever, salivation, and vesiculation of the
mucous membranes of the oropharynx and of the skin of the feet.
• in animals is highly contagious in the early stages of infection when viremia is present
and when vesicles in the mouth and on the feet rupture and liberate large amounts of
virus.
• Excreted material remains infectious for long periods. all exposed animals are
slaughtered and their carcasses destroyed .
• The mortality rate in animals is usually low but may reach 70%.
• A variety of animals are susceptible to infection, and the virus has been recovered from
at least 70 species of mammals.

31. Aphthovirus
Properties of the Virus
• Formalin-treated vaccines have been prepared from virus grown in tissue cultures, but
such vaccines do not produce long-lasting immunity.
• New vaccines are being developed based on recombinant DNA techniques.
• Strict quarantine is established, and the area is not presumed to be safe until
susceptible animals fail to develop symptoms within 30 days.
• Another method is to quarantine the herd and vaccinate all unaffected animals.
(systematic vaccination schedules )
• Some nations (eg, the United States and Australia) forbid the importation of potentially
infective materials such as fresh meat, and the disease has been eliminated in these areas.
