Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta 1

Pregunta
Regarding HIV infection all of the following are true except
Respuesta
  • It is retrovirus that infects CD4 T cells, dendritic cells and macrophages and binds to gp120
  • gp 120 changes conformation and binds co-receptors CCR5 and CXCR4
  • Reverse transcriptase copies viral ssRNA genomes into ds cDNA
  • Replication of HIV occurs in activated T and B cells
  • A genetic deficiency of the co-receptor CCR5 confers resistance to HIV infection in vivo

Pregunta 2

Pregunta
All of the following are seen in a typical course of HIV infection except
Respuesta
  • Infected CD4 cells die as a result of viral replication
  • There is a latent viral reservoir in the lymphoid tissue
  • gp 120 expressed on infected cell binds CD4 on uninfected cell and they fuse forming multinucleated giant cells in HIV infected brain
  • Opportunistic infections will begin to arise when CD4 T cell count goes below 400 cell/cubic mm

Pregunta 3

Pregunta
You need 2 positive ELISA and a confirmatory positive Western Blot to confirm HIV positive status
Respuesta
  • True
  • False

Pregunta 4

Pregunta
All of the following are true about HIV drugs except?
Respuesta
  • Block CCR5 - will block fusion
  • Block Reverse Transcriptase - Blocks integration
  • Block maturation (gp 160 -> gp41)
  • HAART (Highly Active Anti-retroviral Therapy) = 1 NRTIs + a PI/NNRTI/II
