All right so we're going to talk about viral hemorrhagic fever. I'll
try to go through most of the topics we need to know under this setting so
basically what I wanna do is or achieve is to tell you something about all of
them and try to be very precise regarding most of them with some of them with
more material to know and some of them just to let you know what they are
where they are and how do they present so pretty much name tells the story
viral hemorrhagic fever so, I'd say of course viral this is a febrile illness
and it gives you hemorrhages so that's pretty much it is and it is a
multi-system disease the viruses which they cause it all of them are RNA and
we lived in a fatty layer and pretty much humans are not the actual host after
those viruses humans are accidental hosts the whole sauce actually the other
roden mosquitoes or ticks so somebody some other animals are the actual hosts
and humans are pretty much not the actual hosts but end up getting it and
getting infections so if we know but the you know those actual holes rodents
or mosquitoes or ticks we can pretty much locate them in different geographic
areas and then can you know delineate which areas that specific illness is
found so that's another character of these diseases so the diseases where the
actual host is so if you we know where the hostess we can tell where the
disease is so five families so we will try to go through most of the viruses
listed and I have a disclaimer to made most of it after information is from
the CDC some from Mandel that's pretty much the sources so CDC was the main
source of all the information actually and pictures are also actually from CDC
a very few which are not from CDC okay Arina Verdi is the first group so this
group actually all of them before we go to know which which are which they are
but basically the actual horse is the road dance so anybody can tell what is
the difference between these two which one is the rat and which randomize that
smaller is Mouse and the bigger is red that's what I found out during the
process of working out so yeah Arina virus is usually rodents which are rats
mouse sometimes squirrels but the rats are the notorious month so they
actually are the actual reservoir for this these diseases they can infect
themselves that's one way and they keep on carrying the disease the other ways
they can trance or very early you know the th transmission happens through the
ovarian transmission to the key to the kids that's how the carrier then humans
coming to contact with them through excreta ingestion mucus membrane skin
breach and some other ways to do it and that's how people get infected human
human transmission Brer but it does happen. So we'll talk more about that but
yeah that's the main or you know arena viruses they are in the rats or rodents
and they remain that's their host and they get transmitted to human by a
contact of their excreta or themselves and that's how people get infected
really you can transmit to other humans so this is the list of the viruses
from CBC actually so lymphocytic or you meningitis virus years of discovery so
that's the pretty much oldest one at the list and we all know this virus in
the context of transplant host who gets a meningitis and that's usually
lymphocytic Corie meningitis virus other viruses here I'm gonna talk about is
less hours and lose your hemorrhagic fever basically you have viruses and the
names just out the story - the location where those viruses are found
Argentine hemorrhagic fever believing in Lhasa so that's pretty much the
family is so I'm gonna talk live very briefly about some of them and go on to
the next family of viruses so the first one is the lymphocytic career
meningitis virus so if you look at the name it has a chorion in it so that
just tells you it just causes meningitis and it has fatal implications the
murders can't transmit it to fetuses the humans get meningitis with it and
they can you know mother's contrasted it to babies so test hole problem with
this virus so transmission is from rodent Explorer person-to-person does not
happen but as you told I told you earlier vertical transmission from mother to
fetus is to occur and rarely transplantation that's the classical case for in
the board review this virus they present a case where this is the answer signs
and symptoms the basic illness first phase is usually all of them pretty much
gives you the same symptoms so really hard to say which month - you know just
based once symptoms specify which virus it is fever muscle aches headaches
poor appetite nausea vomiting sounds like a flu-like illness right actually so
when that fish gets over.....
