Clasificación

Diagrama de flujo de la clasificación de los virus de ARN

Identificación de los virus ARN:
Los virus pueden clasificarse de muchas maneras. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los virus tienen un genoma formado por ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN) o ARN. Los virus con genoma ARN pueden caracterizarse además por tener ARN monocatenario o bicatenario. Los virus “envueltos” están cubiertos por una fina capa de membrana celular (normalmente tomada de la célula huésped). Si la capa está ausente, los virus se denominan “desnudos”. Los virus con genomas monocatenarios son de “sentido positivo” si el genoma se emplea directamente como ARN mensajero (ARNm), que se traduce en proteínas. Los virus monocatenarios de “sentido negativo” emplean la ARN polimerasa dependiente de ARN, una enzima viral, para transcribir su genoma en ARN mensajero.

Lysis of erythrocytes and the body’s immune response result in clinical symptoms.

Los LOS Neisseria pacientes con babesiosis Babesiosis Babesiosis is an infection caused by a protozoa belonging to the genus, Babesia.

Lysis of erythrocytes and the body’s immune response result in clinical symptoms. Babesia/Babesiosis pueden ser asintomáticos o desarrollar fiebre, fatiga, malestar y artralgias. Los LOS Neisseria pacientes asplénicos, inmunocomprometidos y de edad avanzada corren el riesgo de padecer una enfermedad grave, que provoca síntomas neurológicos, anemia Anemia Anemia is a condition in which individuals have low Hb levels, which can arise from various causes. Anemia is accompanied by a reduced number of RBCs and may manifest with fatigue, shortness of breath, pallor, and weakness. Subtypes are classified by the size of RBCs, chronicity, and etiology. Anemia: Overview and Types hemolítica, trombocitopenia, hepatoesplenomegalia, insuficiencia renal y muerte. El diagnóstico se confirma con un frotis de sangre periférica, pruebas serológicas y PCR PCR Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that amplifies DNA fragments exponentially for analysis. The process is highly specific, allowing for the targeting of specific genomic sequences, even with minuscule sample amounts. The PCR cycles multiple times through 3 phases: denaturation of the template DNA, annealing of a specific primer to the individual DNA strands, and synthesis/elongation of new DNA molecules. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). El tratamiento incluye antimicrobianos como atovacuona más azitromicina.
  • Tularemia: infección causada por Francisella tularensis Francisella Tularensis Aminoglycosides. La presentación de la tularemia depende del tipo de exposición y puede incluir ulceraciones, síntomas sistémicos inespecíficos, enfermedad ocular, linfadenitis, neumonía, mediastinitis Mediastinitis Mediastinitis refers to an infection or inflammation involving the mediastinum (a region in the thoracic cavity containing the heart, thymus gland, portions of the esophagus, and trachea). Acute mediastinitis can be caused by bacterial infection due to direct contamination, hematogenous or lymphatic spread, or extension of infection from nearby structures. Mediastinitis o meningitis Meningitis Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges, the protective membranes of the brain, and spinal cord. The causes of meningitis are varied, with the most common being bacterial or viral infection. The classic presentation of meningitis is a triad of fever, altered mental status, and nuchal rigidity. Meningitis. El diagnóstico se realiza con cultivos, serología y pruebas de PCR PCR Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique that amplifies DNA fragments exponentially for analysis. The process is highly specific, allowing for the targeting of specific genomic sequences, even with minuscule sample amounts. The PCR cycles multiple times through 3 phases: denaturation of the template DNA, annealing of a specific primer to the individual DNA strands, and synthesis/elongation of new DNA molecules. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Se utilizan antibióticos para el tratamiento.
