AIDS: Epidemiology • AIDS in 2007 • Race. Blacks/African Americans account for the majority of the number of AIDS diagnoses made, followed by Whites and Hispanics/Latinos. • Region. Of the estimated 455,636 (including children) persons living with AIDS in the US: 29% Northeast, 11% Midwest, 40% South, 20% West. • Source: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/geographic.htm#2
AIDS: Epidemiology • AIDS in 2007. • Blacks/African Americans accounted for the largest proportion of AIDS cases in all areas except the West where whites accounted for the highest number of cases • Source: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/geographic.htm#2
Some Rapid Review for HIV/AIDS • CD4<200: start prophylaxis for what? Which drug do you use? If they have a sulfa allergy? • CD4 <100 and ring-enhancing lesions on imaging? Diagnosis? Treatment? • CD4 <50, Interstitial Pneumonia or cotton wool spots on retina w/ Owl’s-eye inclusion on biopsy: diagnosis? Treatment? Mechanism?
Some Rapid Review for HIV/AIDS • CD4<200: start prophylaxis for what? Which drug do you use? If they have a sulfa allergy? -PneumocystisJiroveci. Tx= TMP-SMX, Dapsone if sulfa allergy or aerosolized Pentamide if poorly tolerated. • CD4 <100 and ring-enhancing lesions on imaging? Diagnosis? -ToxoplasmaGondii . Tx= Sulfadiazine + Pyrimethamine • CD4 <50, Interstitial Pneumonia or cotton wool spots on retina w/ Owl’s-eye inclusion on biopsy: diagnosis? Treatment? Mechanism? • CMV. Tx= Ganciclovir, Foscarnet, Cidovovir. All of these inhibit viral DNA Polymerase, but Ganciclovir requires a viral kinase to become active whereas the other two do not.
Buzz Words: Gp120 Gp41 CCR5 CXCR4 Reverse transcriptase, integrase, protease
High Yield Drug info • What drug blocks gp120 attachment to CCR5? • What drug inhibits fusion and entrance of HIV into the cell by not allowing the conformational change of gp41 to take place? • Be able to recognize the NRTIs and NNRTIs- can’t help you there, just learn them! • What is our integrase inhibitor? • How do you recognize the protease inhibitors in a list?
High Yield Drug info • What drug blocks gp120 attachment to CCR5? -Maraviroc • What drug inhibits fusion and entrance of HIV into the cell by not allowing the conformational change of gp41 to take place? -Enfuvirtide: binds to gp41 and prevents fusion pore formation • Be able to recognize the NRTIs and NNRTIs- can’t help you there, just learn them! • What is our integrase inhibitor? -Raltegravir • How do you recognize the protease inhibitors in a list? - “Navirtease a pro tease” => all protease inhibitors end with suffix -navir
Replication Review • Is HIV single stranded or double stranded? • RNA or DNA virus? • How many copies of genome found within the capsid of a mature virus? • Name the 3 pre-packaged proteins that are dumped into the host cell cytoplasm upon fusion and entrance of HIV. • Gp120 attaches to what on CD4 cells? On Macrophages? • What is responsible for synthesizing viral mRNA?
Replication Review • Is HIV single stranded or double stranded? • RNA or DNA virus? • ssRNA virus • How many copies of genome found within the capsid of a mature virus? • 2, this is a diploid virus; 2 copies of ssRNA are found in the mature virus. • Name the 3 pre-packaged proteins that are dumped into the host cell cytoplasm upon fusion and entrance of HIV. • Reverse Transcriptase, Integrase, Protease • Gp120 attaches to what on T cells? On Macrophages? • On T cells: CCR5 or CXCR4, On Macrophages: CCR5 • What is responsible for synthesizing viral mRNA? • Host cell DNA polymerase. Reverse Transcriptase makes DNA from RNA, not the other way around.
3 Phases of HIV • Acute • Clinical latency – Establishment of chronic & persistent infection • AIDS – Advanced HIV disease
Acute Retroviral phase • Primary infection • Initial viremia • Dissemination of HIV • HIV-specific immune response
Acute HIV-specific immune response • Establishes chronic & persistent infection in lymphoid tissues
Acute Retroviral SyndromeClinical manifestations • “Mononucleosis-like” or “Flu-like” illness • Occurs in 50-70% of infected individuals • 3-6 weeks after primary infection • May or may not be sero (+)
Chronic Phase – Clinical Latency • Persistent viral replication • Immune system evasion • HIV-reservoir cells
ChronicMacrophages • IL-1 • Endothelial adhesion • Chemokine secretion - lymphocytes • IL-6 • APR • IL-8 • Chemotactic - neutrophils • IL-12 • T cell differentiation Th1 • Activates NKC • TNFα • Activates endothelium • Leukocyte recruitment
ChronicDendritic cells • HIV reservoir
Natural Killer Cells • CD16 binds Fc-IgG • CD56
