Respiratory System
• The respiratory system is responsible for oxygenating the blood and removing waste carbon dioxide from the blood
![Page 3: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Respiratory System
• Alveoli are the final branches of the “respiratory tree”
• Allow gases to exchange between the lungs and the blood
• Tissue between alveoli and capillaries is very thin – allowing for easy gas exchange
![Page 4: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System
• Most viral diseases do not directly kill the host organism
• Rather, the viruses destroy cells within the respiratory system, making them susceptible to bacterial infection– Staphylococci– Streptococci
![Page 5: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Influenza• Human influenza viruses (helical, RNA viruses)• Type A
– Causes seasonal epidemics– Found in ducks, chickens, pigs, whales, horses, and seals– Categorized into subtypes based upon surface proteins
• Hemagglutinin (H)– 16 variations
• Neuraminidase (N)– 9 variations
• Current strains include H1N1 and H3N2
• Type B– Causes seasonal epidemics– Only found in humans
• Type C– Causes mild respiratory illness

Novel H1N1 – “Swine Flu”
• Caused by “antigenic shift” – a major change in the virus with a new combination of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins
• So different from other influenza viruses that most people don’t have immunity to it
• Pigs can be infected with human and avian influenza viruses, and they can mix
• It’s thought that “Swine Flu” has genes mostly from a human virus, but surface proteins from an avian virus

Influenza Symptoms
• Fever• Cough• Sore throat• Runny or stuffy nose• Muscle or body aches• Headaches• Fatigue

Peak Months of Influenza Activity

Influenza Complications
• Bacterial pneumonia• Ear infections• Sinus infections
![Page 12: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Influenza Vaccinations
• CDC recommends “universal” flu vaccinations• Especially the following groups:– Pregnant women– Children younger than 5– People 50+ years old

Influenza Transmission
• Spread through respiratory droplets• Also possible to get by touching a surface that
has the virus on it, then touching your eyes, mouth, or nose
• May be able to infect others 1 day before symptoms appear and 5-7 days after becoming sick

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
![Page 16: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
• Caused by a coronavirus (SARS-associated coronavirus)
• Coronaviruses have been linked pneumonia• The virus may survive in the environment for
several days
![Page 17: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
SARS Symptoms
• High fever (>100.4° F)• Headache• Discomfort• Body aches• Diarrhea• Pneumonia
![Page 18: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SARS Transmission
• Spread through respiratory droplets• Spread through touching a contaminated object,
then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes• “Close contact” – living with someone with SARS,
having direct contact with body fluids from a patient
• Incubation period is between 2-7 days, but the disease is only contagious while symptoms are present

Global SARS Outbreak (2003)
• Between November 2002 – July 2003– 8,098 people became infected worldwide– 774 died– 8 people in U.S. were confirmed to have SARS, 0
deaths

Common Cold
• More than 200 viruses cause the “common cold”
• Rhinoviruses and adenoviruses are the most common
![Page 21: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Common Cold - Symptoms
• Sneezing• Stuffy or runny nose• Sore throat• Coughing• Mild headache• Mild body aches
![Page 22: Plate 85 Viral Diseases of the Respiratory System](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d2b5503460f94a0088f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Common Cold – Runny Nose
• Nose makes clean mucus when infected to wash the virus from the sinuses
• Immune cells begin to fight the virus, changing the mucus to a white or yellow color
• As bacteria in nose grow back, they may change the mucus to a greenish color
