Ophthalmic consequences of viral hemorrhagic fevers: Insights from the clinic and laboratory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) are a diverse group of RNA virus-mediated systemic diseases with significant morbidity and mortality represent public health concern. Given the high in number these entities, delays diagnosis can lead to downstream consequences. Many viral have ophthalmic manifestations ophthalmologists thus play key role disease recognition management ocular complications associated specific fevers. This review summarizes consequences fevers, pathogenesis, findings, areas unmet research need.

Viral hemorrhagic fevers.
A taxonomically diverse set of single-stranded ribonucleic acid(ssRNA) viruses from four diverse viral families Arenaviridae,Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae, and Flaviviridae cause an acute systemic febrile syndrome called viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF). The syndrome produces combinations of prostration, malaise, increased vascular permeability, and coagulation maladies. In severe illness,VHF may incl...
متن کاملIMMUNOLOGY AND PATHOGENESIS OF VIRAL HEMORRHAGIC FEVERS Diagnostics and Discovery in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers
The rate of discovery of new microbes and of new associations of microbes with health and disease is accelerating. Many factors contribute to this phenomenon including those that favor the true emergence of new pathogens as well as new technologies and paradigms that enable their detection and characterization. This chapter reviews recent progress in the field of pathogen surveillance and disco...

This paper reviews the epidemiology and distinguishing features of three viral hemorrhagic fevers (dengue hemorrhagic fever, yellow fever and arenaviral hemorrhagic fever) that have emerged as important public health problems in South America. Although the etiology, natural history and control of the three diseases are different, their clinical manifestations and histopathology findings are sim...
متن کاملViral hemorrhagic fevers: advancing the level of treatment
The management of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) has mainly focused on strict infection control measures, while standard clinical interventions that are provided to patients with other life-threatening conditions are rarely offered to patients with VHFs. Despite its complexity, a proper clinical case management of VHFs is neither futile nor is it lacking in scientific rationale. Given that pat...
متن کاملThe Role of Platelets in Viral Hemorrhagic Fevers
Arenaviridae, Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae and Flaviviridae are all RNA viruses that can induce a coagulopathy in infected patients. While there is a paucity of information on the cause of this coagulopathy, these viruses all produce a severe thrombocytopenia. Here, we review the literature on viral hemorrhagic fever and discuss the role played by platelets in the coagulopathy. We also discuss the...
