Coxsackie virus
• A large subgroup of enterovirus
• Two antigenic types: Coxsackie A and Coxsackie B virus
• 24 serotype of Coxsackie A
• 6 serotypes of Coxsackie B
• Group A virus produce: Myositis and Flaccid paralysis
• Group B virus produce: Lesion in heart, pancreas, CNS

Pathogenesis and pathology of Coxsackie virus
• Initial replication in oropharynx and gastrointestinal tract
• Spread to blood (viremia)
• Type A attacks the mucus membrane
• Type B attacks heart, pleura, pancreas, liver

Laboratory diagnosis
• SAMPLES:
– Throat washing, Stool, Nasal secretion, CSF, Conjunctival swab
• VIRUS ISOLATION
– Monkey kidney cell line, human embryonic lung fibroblast cell
• NUCLEIC ACID DETECTION
– Reverse transcriptase PCR
• SEROLOGY
– Neutralizing antibody appears early in life
– Immunofluorescence test is done with antibody against infected cell
culture
12
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Immunity and management
• Neutralizing antibodies are transferred from mother to fetus
• Immunity is type specific, life long and mediated by IgG
• TREATMENT
– There is no antivirals
• PREVENTION
– No vaccines
13
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Polio virus
• RNA non envelope virus
• Belongs to picorna virus family
• Infective hosts limited to primates
• Three serologic types
• Transmission: Fecal- oral route
14
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Immunopathogenesis of poliomyelitis
• Virus preferentially replicates in the anterior horn cells of
motor neuron result in death of these cells and paralysis of
muscle(Flaccid type paralysis)
• Immune response generates both IgA and IgG

Poliomyelitis: Clinical features
• Asymptomatic
• Abortive poliomyelitis:
– Mild fever, headache ,sore throat, nausea, vomiting
• Non paralytic poliomyelitis: Aseptic meningitis
– Fever, headache, neck stiffness
• Paralytic poliomyelitis:
– Flaccid paralysis

Poliomyelitis: Laboratory diagnosis
• Sample: Stool, throat swab, CSF
• Culture: Isolation and identification
• Serology: Rising antibody titer against the virus
19
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Poliomyelitis: Management
• Treatment: Symptomatic
– Respiratory support
– Physiotherapy
• Prevention: By vaccination
• Two types of vaccines:
– Live attenuated vaccine(Sabin, OPV))
– Killed vaccine(Salk vaccine, IPV)
20
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Rota virus
Belongs to Reoviridae family
Double stranded RNA genome
Genome is segmented (11 segments)
Non envelope
Replicates in cytoplasm
Common cause of infantile diarrhea
Cart-wheel appearance in EM
Five serotypes have been identified
Group A is the main human pathogen
21
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Transmission and pathogenesis
• TRANSMISSION: Fecal-oral route
• PATHOGENESIS:
1. Virus infects the enterocytes lining villi of small intestine and causes
damage and sloughing of cells
2. Rotavirus encoded protein also acts as an enterotoxin
• In both cases there is impaired absorption of sodium and
glucose and increase excretion of water and electrolytes
leading to watery diarrhea.
• Sloughing enterocytes contain virus and infectious for 2-12
days in otherwise healthy patient.

Geographic distribution of Rota virus
23
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Clinical features and complications
• CLINICAL FEATURES
• Commonly affects infants
• Incubation period: 1-3 days
• Watery diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain and vomiting leading to
dehydration.
• Adult can be infected by children, but disease milder
• COMPLICATIONS
• Water and electrolyte imbalance
• Hypovolumic shock
• Acidosis
24
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Laboratory diagnosis
• SAMPLES: Stool
• Detection of viral antigen: ELISA
• Detection of viral antibody: ELISA
• Detection of virus: EIA, IEM (Immunoelectron Microscopy)
• Detection of nucleic acid: PCR
25
Copy right: Dr. Tarek Mahbub Khan/
tarekviro@yahoo.com
Treatment and Prevention
• TREATMENT
• Fluid replacement and correction of electrolyte by oral or
intravenous rehydration therapy.
• Correction of acidosis.
• PREVETION
• Transmission control: Improvement of water supply and
sanitation.
• New live attenuated oral vaccines is safe.
