  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A nosocomical infection of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis occurred in our hospital on March 10,2003. A total of 14 patients were diagnosed with the disease. The series comprised 4 in-patients and 11 outpatients. Immunochromatography for adenovirus gave positive results in 11 patients. Sera from 5 patients were examined by polymerase chain reaction and adnovirus neutralizing antibody test. Adenovirus type 37 was identified in 4 patients. It appeared that the infection was caused through instruments,examinations,or treatments in the hospital. An infection-control committee was called on March 11. Utmost efforts were made to prevent further infection following a new protocol including:sterilization of instruments and hands,explanatory meetings for patients,examination of infected patients in a separate room,and restriction of hospitalization. By these measures,the outbreak was announced to have ended 44 days after onset.
