  1. Viruses and Encephalitis PHM142 September 24, 2019 Amy (YooIm) Choi Candice (Zinan) Lin Aiwen Qian PHM142 Fall 2019 Instructor: Chesa Dojo Soeandy Coordinator: Jeffrey Henderson

  2. What is encephalitis? • Inflammation of cranial tissue • 2 major subtypes: • Infection-related • Autoimmune-mediated • Symptoms: • Ex. focal neurological deficits, seizures • Hard to identify etiological agent

  3. Viral replication DNA viruses: Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) 1, HSV2, adenovirus RNA viruses: influenza, enterovirus, measles, rubella, mumps, rabies, arboviruses

  4. Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) • 2 types: HSV-1 and HSV-2 • Oral vs. sexually transmitted • Route of infection: HSV-1 • Trigeminal nerve/Olfactory tract • Recurrent infection • Reactivation • Route of infection: HSV-2 • Sexually transmitted • Vertically transmitted • Latent infections in sensory neurons

  5. Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) • Unknown pathway to CNS target • Early diagnosis crucial • Cerebrospinal fluid PCR: • 98% sensitivity; 94% specificity • Faster vs. serologic testing • Monitoring therapy

  6. HSV Infection Intracellular Adhesion Molecule 1 (ICAM-1) Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Water into basal membrane Water into astrocyte Astrocyte apoptosis Cleaves tight junction proteins Nitric Oxide (NO) Brain edema Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) Disruption

  8. Treatment: Acyclovir Mechanism of Action

  9. Summary • Encephalitis • Encephalitis = inflammation of cranial tissue • DNA or RNA viral causes • Most common viral cause of encephalitis: Herpes simplex virus • Herpes simplex virus (2 types) • HSV-1: oral-oral infection • HSV-2: sexually transmitted infection and vertical infection • Herpes simplex encephalitis • Unknown complete mechanism • CSF-PCR for diagnosis • Blood-brain barrier disruption associated with HSE • First line therapy for HSE: acyclovir (guanosine analogue)
