Definition Mumps Virus is an enveloped negative _sense RNA virus belong to the paramyxovirus family Mode of Transmission The virus spreads through respiratory droplets, coughing, sneezing, and direct contact with infected Clinical Picture Symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and painful swelling of the parotid glands. Pain may increase during chewing or swallowing Pathogenesis After entering the body, the virus replicates in the respiratory tract, then spreads through the blood to different organs, especially salivary glands, causing inflammation. Complications Complications may include orchitis in males, meningitis, and rarely deafness if not properly managed. Treatment There is no specific antiviral treatment for mumps. Management is supportive: • fever. Analgesics/Antipyretics: Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen for pain and • Hydration: Plenty of fluids (avoiding acidic drinks). • Comfort: Using warm or cold compresses on the swollen area. Prevention and Control Prevention is mainly by MMR vaccine, maintaining hygiene, and isolating infected individuals. QR Code & References.

Name Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) Disease Varicella (chickenpox) as primary infection and Herpes zoster (shingles) as reactivation. Mode of Transmission Spread via respiratory droplets and direct contact with vesicular fluid. Clinical Pictures Chickenpox: fever, malaise, itchy vesicular rash in different stages. Shingles: painful unilateral vesicular rash along dermatome, possible postherpetic neuralgia. Pathogenesis Virus enters respiratory tract, replicates in lymph nodes, causes viremia, spreads to skin, then becomes latent in dorsal root ganglia. Reactivation leads to shingles. Treatment Antivirals such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir. Supportive care includes analgesics and antipyretics. Avoid :aspirin should be avoided in children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome Prevention and Control Vaccination (varicella and zoster vaccines), isolation of infected individuals, hygiene measures.

ADENOVIRUS (dSS DNA virus) By: Al-Ashaimaa Mohammed Abdelrhim ID: 35 UnderSupervision: Prof.Dr.Maha Abu Shadi.
Clinical pictutre: Adenoviruses most commonly cause respiratory illness. The illnesses can range from the common cold to pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Depending on the type, adenoviruses can cause other illnesses such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and, less commonly, neurological disease. Pathogenesis and pathophysiology :Infection is usually transmitted in droplets of respiratory or ocular secretions. Some adenovirus types are oncogenic in newborn rodents and can transform cells. Human oncogenesis has not been found but may nevertheless occur (e.g., by a “hit-and-run” mechanism). Treatment:no specific cure for adenovirus,so treatment focus on relieving symptoms & supporting recovery such as: Get plenty of rest Stay well hydrated Clean nasal secretion s regularly Receiving age-appropriate fever reducing medication when needed Prevention: 1. Personal hygiene 2. Vaccination 3. Don't share personal items • • • • • • • 1. 2. 3. 4. • Name of infectious agent: Adenovirus Disease: 1. acute respiratory disease (usually). 2. pneumonia (occasionally) 3. acute follicular conjunctivitis(pink eye) 4. epidemic keratoconjunctivitis 5. 6. cystitis, and gastroenteritis (occasionally). In infants, pharyngitis and pharyngeal-conjunctival fever are common. Epidemiolog: People of all ages are at risk of acquiring adenovirus, but infection is more common in children, and at any time of year. Mode of transmission: Transmission of adenoviruses from an infected individual to others can occur through: ▪ ▪ ▪ Personal contact Droplets from coughing and sneezing Touching a surface with adenoviruses on it and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands Stool (durting nappy changing. ▪ 4. Avoid close contact 5. Environmental cleanliness.

Introduction: Parvovirus B19 is a nonenveloped, icosahedral virus containing a single-stranded, linear DNA genom . This virus exhibits strict human tropism and does not infect other animal species. It get infected young children aged 5 to 15 years but can also occur in adult. Disease: "Slapped cheek" this is also known as (Fifth Disease) Mode of transimission: Transmission of the virus occurs primarily through respiratory secretions during close contact, although parenteral transmission through blood products and vertical transmission from mother to fetus have been well documented. Symptoms: Approximately 1 in 4 people who get infected with parvovirus B19 will have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they are usually mild and may include: Fever Rashes Headache Cough, sore throat Joint pain Treatment : Treatment usually involves relieving symptoms, such as fever (anti pyretic), itching, joint pain, and swelling. For people who develop a low blood count, treatment may include supportive care, blood products, and other specialized therapies. Prevention and safety measures : Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. wash your hand and use proper handwash is especially important in childcare . https://www.cdc.gov/parvovirus-b19/about/index.html..

Microbiology and Immunity Department Al-Azhar University Cairo Faculty of Pharmacy Girls Parasitology and Virology (PMI 323) Common childhood viral infections (Rotavirus) Written by: Alaa Ahmed Ahmed Osman. ID: D 2023 -026 Third year student /2025 – 2026. Under supervision of : Prof .D. / Maha Abu Shadi.
(Rotavirus) Abstract: Rotavirus is the main cause of severe acute gastroenteritis in infants and young children, leading to over 200,000 deaths each year mostly in developing countries. Name of the infections agent: Rotavirus. Disease: Rotavirus is a highly contagious virus that mainly affects infants and young children, causing severe diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain, which can lead to dehydration and hospitalization. Before the vaccine, it was a common and serious illness, with most children infected by age five, though older children and adults can also be affected. Mode of transmission: Rotavirus spreads by the fecal-oral route through contaminated hands. food, water, or close contact. It's highly contagious, especially in children. Signs and symptoms: Children infected with rotavirus may have: ● Severe watery diarrhea. ● Vomiting. ● Fever. ● Abdominal. ● Loss of appetite. ● Dehydration (loss of body fluids) Diagnosis: The signs and symptoms of rotavirus infection are similar to those caused by other diseases. Therefore, rotavirus must be diagnosed by laboratory testing (detecting rotavirus in the stool). Treatment: No specific treatment for rotavirus. The main concern is dehydration from vomiting and diarrhea. Mild cases are treated with oral rehydration solutions (ORS) , while severe cases may need IV fluids in the hospital. Prevention: Good hygiene helps but not enough to prevent rotavirus spread. The best protection is vaccination, which protects most children from severe illness and reduces symptoms if infection occur..
