| 영문 | influenza virus | 한글 | 인플루엔자바이러스 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인플루엔자의 병원체. 상기도 점막에 침입하여 호흡기 질환을 일으킨다. 보체 결합 항원의 차이에 따라 A-B-C 세형태로 나뉘며, 유행할 때마다 혈구 응집 항원이 변이하여 광범위한 유행을 나타낸다. 껍질이 있는 80~150nm의 공모양, 나선 대칭 RNA 바이러스이다. 두 종류의 스파이크, 뉴라미니다아제(neuraminidase, NA), 당단백질과 헤마글루티닌(hemagglution, HA) 당단백질을 만든다. A형의 NA에는 N1-N2의 두 종류, HA에는 HAO-HA1-HA2-HA3의 네 종류가 있다. A형은 말-돼지-새에 감염하며 새로운 아형은 동물 바이러스와의 조환형이며, 그 밖에 동일 아형내 점변이가 있다. B, C형은 사람 이외에는 감염되지 않는다. 닭의 적혈구를 응집하는 성질이 있다. 바이러스 진단에는 환자의 인두 세척액에서 분리한다든가, 또는 환자의 혈청항체에 의한 특이적 적혈구 응집저지검사, 뉴라미니다아제 활성저지검사 또는 중화검사 등으로 검출한다. |

| herpes virus 4, human | A species of lymphocryptovirus cultivated from cultures of burkitt lymphoma. It is thought to be the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| herpes virus 6, human | The type species of roseolovirus isolated from patients with aids and other lymphoproliferative disorders. It infects and replicates in fresh and established lines of haematopoietic cells and cells of neural origin. It also appears to alter nk cell activity. Hhv-6 (hblv) antibodies are elevated in patients with aids, sjogren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and certain malignancies. Hhv-6 is the cause of exanthema subitum and has been implicated in encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes virus 7, human | A species of the family herpesviridae isolated from activated, CD4-positive T-lymphocytes taken from the blood of a healthy human. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human papilloma virus | <virology> A disease caused by the human papilloma virus characterised by a soft wart-like growth on the genitalia (for example penis, vulva). In adults this infection is most commonly transmitted sexually. Genital warts are very common and are increasing in incidence. Safe sex practices, such as using condoms can help decrease the risk of infection. Treatment includes several topical agents to eradicate the lesions, cryosurgery, laser therapy, electrocauterisation or surgical removal. See: alternate name condyloma acuminata. Acronym: HPV (27 Sep 1997) |
| human T-cell leukaemia virus | <virology> One of a group of retroviruses which causes the disease T-cell leukaemia in humans. T-cell leukaemia is a type of the cancer leukaemia where the body uncontrollably produces large amounts of abnormal (nonworking) T lymphocytes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human T-cell lymphotropic virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human T lymphotrophic virus | A virus that has a predilection for human lymphoid cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| human t-lymphotropic virus | <virology> Type i: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which causes adult T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma and may also be involved in certain demyelinating diseases (diseases where the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibres are destroyed). HTLV-I is closely related to HTLV-II (60% of their genomes are identical). Type II: A human, single-stranded RNA retrovirus from the subfamily Oncovirinae which may cause diseases such as T-cell leukaemia and T-cell lymphoma (but this has not been proven). HTLV-II is closely related to HTLV I (60% of their genomes are identical). Type III: An obsolete term for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes Acquired Immunity Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Acronym: HTLV (09 Oct 1997) |
| influenza a virus, human | Strains of influenza a virus causing influenza and sometimes pneumonia in humans. Transmission is by aerosol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| enteric cytopathogenic human orphan virus | eCHO virus |
| AIDS dementia | <immunology> A frequent cerebral condition in people with AIDS that results in the loss of cognitive capacity, affecting the ability to function in a social or occupational setting. Its cause has not been determined exactly, but may result from HIV infection of cells in the brain or an inflammatory reaction to such infection. (09 Oct 1997) |
| AIDS dementia complex | <immunology> A frequent cerebral condition in people with AIDS that results in the loss of cognitive capacity, affecting the ability to function in a social or occupational setting. Its cause has not been determined exactly, but may result from HIV infection of cells in the brain or an inflammatory reaction to such infection. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Alzheimer's dementia | <disease> A progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterised by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several areas of the brain leading to loss of cognitive function such as memory and language. The cause of nerve cell death is unknown but the cells are recognised by the appearance of unusual helical protein filaments in the nerve cells (neurofibrillary tangles) and by degeneration in cortical regions of brain, especially frontal and temporal lobes. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. (22 May 1997) |
| vascular dementia | A state of diminished cognition that is the results from repeated cerebral strokes with a step-like deterioration in intellectual functions with focal neurological signs, as the result of multiple infarctions of the cerebral hemispheres. Synonym: multi-infarct dementia. (07 Mar 2000) |
