Within the framework of surveillance system of infectious diseases instituted in 1983 in Japan, we conducted an epidemiological study of ocular infec-tious diseases in five ophthalmological clinics in different districts of Japan over a 4-year period through 1987. We evaluated a total of 1,362 cases diagnosed as epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC), pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF) or acute hemor-rhagic conjunctivitis (AHC). In all the cases, an attempt was made to isolate the responsible viralorganisms and to identify the type of the adenovirus.The major pathogens included adenovirus types 3, 4, 8, 11, 19, 37, EV70 and CA24 variant. For the prevention of adenovirus type 3, due attention seemed to be necessary to the transmission routes by filth of infected infants even after the disappear-ance of symptoms. Adenovirus type 8 ranked as a major cause of hospital infection in summer because of longer incubation period and slow growth of the agent. In all the cases of adenovirus type 3, the genome type was either Ad3f or Ad3g. The findings indicate that the current surveil-lance program needs major modification as it is mainly concerned with pediatric infectious diseases with biased age grouping in its classification.
