- 7. – A skin infection characterized by small, dome-shaped lesions with central umbilication.
- 9. – Inflammation of the eye commonly referred to as “pink eye” and associated with adenovirus.
- 13. – A malignancy that may develop as a complication of chronic hepatitis B infection.
- 14. – A vascular tumor associated with HHV-8, commonly seen in AIDS patients.
- 15. – A disease with diarrhea and vomiting that can be caused by certain adenovirus serotypes.
- 16. - A recently discovered virus associated with acute respiratory disease in young children.
- 18. – An eye infection causing inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva due to adenovirus.
- 19. – A common manifestation of adenovirus infection affecting the upper or lower respiratory tract.
- 20. – Abnormal cell growths that may be induced by oncogenic DNA viruses like HPV or hepatitis B virus.
- 24. – An eye infection caused by HSV that may lead to corneal scarring and blindness.
- 25. – A painful infection of the fingers often seen in healthcare workers exposed to HSV.
- 28. – A widespread HSV infection occurring in individuals with underlying skin conditions like eczema.
- 29. – A painful dermatomal rash resulting from reactivation of latent varicella-zoster virus.
- 33. – A syndrome involving sore throat, fever, and red eyes commonly linked to adenovirus infection.
- 34. – The virus responsible for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
- 36. – A viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to cirrhosis or cancer.
- 37. CRISIS – A life-threatening condition where red blood cell production suddenly stops in patients with chronic anemia after viral infection.
- 39. – A benign epithelial tumor caused by papillomavirus infection.
- 40. – A possible outcome when Parvovirus B19 crosses the placenta and infects the fetus.
Down
- 1. – A sexually transmitted wart found in the genital area caused by HPV.
- 3. – Painful vesicular lesions around the mouth caused by HSV-1.
- 4. – A skin infection caused by HSV transmitted through close contact in sports like wrestling.
- 6. – Joint inflammation that may occur in adults infected with Parvovirus B19.
- 8. – The presence of viruses in the bloodstream, allowing systemic spread as seen in smallpox.
- 10. – A condition caused by CMV characterized by enlarged cells with inclusion bodies.
- 11. – A disease characterized by fever, sore throat, and lymphadenopathy caused by Epstein-Barr virus.
- 12. – A severe viral disease with pustular lesions caused by variola virus.
- 17. – A benign skin growth caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV).
- 21. – A condition where herpesviruses remain dormant in the body and can reactivate later.
- 22. – A highly contagious disease with vesicular rash caused by primary infection with varicella-zoster virus.
- 23. – A widespread rash commonly seen in viral infections like erythema infectiosum and chickenpox.
- 26. VIRUS – The virus that causes infectious mononucleosis, also known as the “kissing disease.”
- 27. – A reduction in red blood cells that may result from Parvovirus B19 infection.
- 30. HERPES – A sexually transmitted infection characterized by painful lesions in the genital area caused by HSV-2 or HSV-1.
- 31. RESPIRATORY DISEASE – A condition caused by adenovirus presenting with cough, fever, and respiratory symptoms.
- 32. – A group of viruses that cannot replicate without co-infection with another virus.
- 35. – A childhood disease marked by high fever followed by rash, caused by HHV-6.
- 38. – A zoonotic poxvirus infection that historically contributed to the development of vaccination.
