2 DNA viruses: size and shape Herpesviruses Subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae genus Simplexvirus: HHV-1 1 (HSV-1) HHV-2 2 (HSV-2) genus Varicellovirus: Subfamily Betaherpesvirinae genus Cytomegalovirus: genus Roseolovirus: Subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae genus Lymphocryptovirus: genus Rhadinovirus: HHV-3 3 (VZV) HHV-5 5 (CMV) HHV 6A HHV 6B HHV 7 HHV-4 4 (EBV) HHV-8 8 (KSHV) 2

3 Genetic similarity of herpesviruses Herpesviridae the structure of viral particle 3

4 Genomes of herpesviruses Herpesviruses primary infection, latency, reactivation primary infection: first contact with the virus (symptomatic or asymptomatic infection) virus isn t entirely eliminated viral DNA persists within certain types of cells (latency) in conduicive circumstances in latent virus can reactivate recurrent and multiple reactivations are observed 4

5 Alphaherpesviruses latency HHV-4 pathogenesis 5

6 HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV: Neurotropic viruses CMV, HHV 6, HHV 7: T-lymphotropic viruses EBV, HHV 8: B-lymphotropic viruses Primary infection and latency sites Primary infection site Latency site HSV-1/HSV-2 VZV EBV CMV HHV-8 skin and mucosal layer upper respiratory tract mucosal layer upper respiratory tract mucosal layer upper respiratory tract mucosal layer mucosal layer epithelium neural ganglia neural ganglia B-lymphocytes T-lymphocytes B-lymphocytes 6

7 Adult population serological status HSV infection in age groups 7

8 VZV - epidemiology Chickenpox incidence around a year 8

9 Virus Transmission route and spread IgG % Main transmission within population route HHV-1 50% direct contact HHV % STD HHV % aerosol HHV % saliva/aerosol/ /aerosol/contact HHV % saliva/aerosol/ /aerosol/contact HHV % saliva/aerosol/ /aerosol/contact HHV % saliva/aerosol/ /aerosol/contact HHV-8 0,5-20% STD Herpesviruses immunological evasion interleukin homologues production (lymphocytes suppression) limited presentation of antigen (latency) apoptosis inhibition (p53 and caspases cascade) inhibition of proteasomes activity downregulation of IFNs production limited expression of antigens in MHC context 9

10 Herpesviruses pathogenicity depends on host s immunological status: efficient immunological system transient immunological disorders immunosuppression non-developed immunological system AIDS inherited immunological disorders Herpes simplex virus 1/2 Human Herpesvirus 1/2 Subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae Genus: Simplexvirus 10

11 Pathogenicity of Herpes simplex viruses primary infections reactivation of latent virus mucocutaneous localized infections spread infections systemic infections infections of internal organs HSV-1/HSV 1/HSV-2 mucocutaneous infections herpetic gingivostomatitis and pharyngitis genital herpes conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis, keratitis skin infections,, herpetic whitlow (paronychia) cold sores (herpes simplex, herpes recurrens) posttraumatic herpes recurrent gingivostomatitis 11

12 Herpetic gingivostomatitis Herpetic gingivostomatitis changes on palatum durum 12

13 HSV-1: primary skin infection in adult patient Herpetic whitlow Disease due to contamination of skin with the material containing infectious viruses (saliva, vesicular fluid). May be caused by both types of virus, also as a result of transmission from genitals. 13

14 Herpes gladiatorum contracted by wrestlers, rugbyists, also called scrumpox Herpetic keratoconjunctivitis 14

15 Characteristic corneal dendritic change due to HSV-1 infection (fluorescein stain) Cold sore (result of latent virus reactivation) 15

16 Vesiculopapular changes in the course of recurrent HSV-1 gingivostomatitis Primary infection with HSV-1 severe systemic infections eczema herpeticum infection of neonates infections in immunosuppressed patients congenital herpes simplex infections 16

17 Herpetic eczema Found in neonates and small children with preexisting atopic dermatitis or lupus erythrematosus risk of lymphadenitis and organ infections Infections in neonates HSV-2 noticeable mortality result of congenital infection or spread from mother during birth risk of severe systemic infection (prolonged viremia, pneumonia, CNS infection, hepatitis) 17

18 HSV-1 - primary infection in immunosuppressed patient Internal organs infections with HSV CNS infections: encephalitis,, meningitis respiratory tract infections (pneumonia, bronchitis) oesophagitis hepatitis necrotizing lymphadenitis urinary tract infections 18

19 HSV-1 oesophagitis HSV-1/2 treatment acyclovir (ACV) is a drug-of of-choice (effective inhibitor of viral DNA polymerase) other nucleoside analogs: famcyclovir, pencyclovir and valacyclovir resistant strains appear due to altered thymidine kinase (or DNA pol) O treatment of infections caused by resistant H strains: ganciclovir, cidofovir N N no vaccine is available N N N O O acyclovir 19

20 Diagnosis Mild infections are diagnosed on the basis of clinical symptoms laboratory diagnosis: severe infections (internal organs, systemic and spread) infections with atypical course chronic and recurrent mucocutaneous infections Clinical material for HSV laboratory diagnosis localised mucocutaneous lesions: swabs, scratches, vesicular fluid keratoconjunctivitis: eye swab keratitis: corneal scratches CNS infections: cerebrospinal fluid and blood (virus detection, IgM detection) spread and systemic infections: available material, blood 20

21 Laboratory diagnosis of HSV infections direct detection of the virus direct immunofluorescence cytological findings (Giemsa stain, giant cells, nuclear inclusions) molecular methods (PCR) antigen detection (ELISA) virus isolation in cell cultures antibodies detection (cautious approach in interpretation) Genital herpes direct smear: Tzank cells (Giemsa stain) 21

22 HSV-1 cytopathogenic effect HSV-1: direct immunofluorescence 22

23 Varicella Zoster Virus Human Herpesvirus 3 Subfamily: Alphaherpesvirinae Genus: Varicellovirus VZV Chickenpox (Varicella) Shingles (Zoster) transmission: respiratory secretions or direct contact (the most contagious herpesvirus) virus is transferred from respiratory tract epithelium to lymph nodes, and is released to blood and lymph viremia, spread with blood to skin maculopapular rash (vesicular fluid contains high titres of infectious virus and infected mononuclear cells) fever (up to 39 degrees) severe manifestations in adult patients (older than 14 y.o.) complications 23

24 Chickenpox Chickenpox Complications bacterial superinfections of chickenpox ulcers (strptococci, staphylococci) pneumonia (about 15% of adult patients) meningitis fulminant encephalitis, cerebellar ataxia rare: myelitis, Guillian-Barre syndrome Congenital infection severity of symptoms depends on time of infections scarring of the skin, damage to the lens, retina, brain; also microphtalmia 24

25 Chickenpox perinatal infections: severe course, risk of complications (pneumonia, meningitis, mortality) haemorrhagic chickenpox: primary infection in elderly patients or in immunodefficiencies Shingles (Zoster) disease due to latent virus reactivation predisposing factors: age, immunosuppresion, stress severe acute radicular pain is first manifestation few days (up to 2 weeks) chickenpox-like lesions appear within a single dermatome reactivation may affect any dermatome it depends on the site of virus latency (including trigeminal and cranial ganglia) zoster involving multiple dermatomes is observed in AIDS aptients may affect children (congenital or perinatal infection, immunological disorders) recurrent zoster is noted in patients with AIDS or neoplasms 25

26 Zoster Zoster Complications: persistence of pain (post-herpetic neuralgia), months after skin lesions have healed, especially in older patients often accompanied with sensitivity to touch within area of afected dermatome regular pain-relieving drugs are often inefficient bacterial superinfections of skin lesions 26

27 Diagnostics of uncomplicated infections cinical manifestations In severe or atypical cases direct DNA or antigen detection (skin/mucosa swabs, blood, CSF) virus isolation serology: detection of specific IgM (primary infection) Treatment acyclovir (or other nucleoside analogs) Vaccine live atenuated (Oka strain) VZV cytopathogenic effect 27
