Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Vesicular Stomatitis

    a viral disease caused by at least two distinct species (serotypes) in the vesiculovirus genus: vesicular stomatitis indiana virus and vesicular stomatitis new jersey virus. it is characterized by vesicular eruptions on the oral mucosa in cattle, horses, pigs, and other animals. in humans, vesicular stomatitis causes an acute influenza-like illness.
  • Vesicular stomatitis Indiana virus

    the type species of vesiculovirus causing a disease symptomatically similar to foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, horses, and pigs. it may be transmitted to other species including humans, where it causes influenza-like symptoms.
  • Vesicular stomatitis New Jersey virus

    a species of vesiculovirus causing vesicular stomatitis primarily in cattle, horses, and pigs. it can be transmitted to humans where it causes influenza-like symptoms.
  • Vesiculovirus

    a genus of the family rhabdoviridae that infects a wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates. the type species is vesicular stomatitis indiana virus.

Viral Infections

What are viruses?

Viruses are very tiny germs. They are made of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) inside of a protein coating. There are a huge number of viruses on earth. Only a small number of them can infect humans. Those viruses can infect our cells, which may cause disease. Some of the diseases that viruses can cause include the common cold, the flu, COVID-19, and HIV.

How are viruses spread?

Viruses can be spread in different ways:

  • Through droplets and particles that are breathed out by someone who has the infection. You might breathe in the droplets or particles, or they could land on your mouth, nose, or eyes.
  • By touching surfaces or objects that have the virus on them and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
  • From the pregnant parent to the baby during pregnancy.
  • Through contaminated food or water.
  • By being bitten by an infected insect or animal.
  • Through sexual contact (usually vaginal, anal and oral sex) with someone who has the infection.

How do viruses cause disease?

Viruses are like hijackers. They invade living, normal cells. They then use those cells to multiply (make copies of themselves). This process is also called replication. The process can kill, damage, or change the infected cells. Sometimes this can make you sick. The symptoms can range from mild to very severe. Other times, your immune system may be able to fight it off and you may not have any symptoms.

Each different virus usually only infects one type of cell in your body. For example, hepatitis viruses affect the cells in the liver. HIV infects a certain type of immune system cell.

What are the treatments for viral infections?

For most viral infections, treatments can only help with symptoms while you wait for your immune system to fight off the virus. There are antiviral medicines to treat some viral infections. Antibiotics do not work for viral infections.

Can viral infections be prevented?

Vaccines can help prevent you from getting many viral diseases. You may be able to prevent some viral infections by:

  • Proper hand washing.
  • Paying attention to food safety.
  • Cleaning surfaces that may be infected with germs.
  • Avoiding contact with wild animals.
  • Preventing insect bites by using insect repellent when you go outdoors. If you travel to an area that has a high risk of diseases from insect bites, also wear long pants, shirts, and socks.
  • Practicing safe sex (using a condom every time you have anal, vaginal, or oral sex).
  • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
