  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

We employed a new direct immunoassay test,Adenoclone (Cambridge Bio Science), in the rapiddiagnosis of ocular infection by adenovirus. Weapplied the method to 57 cases of ocular adenovirusinfection, mostly epidemic keratoconjunctivitis(EKC) or pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF) withthe diagnosis proven by culture. We also appliedthe method to 25 cases of acute conjunctivitis withnegative adenovirus culture results.

In the former series of 57 cases of provenadenovirus infection, direct Adenoclone testing ofconjunctival swab was positive in 38 (67%). In thelatter series of 25 culture-negative cases, Adeno-clone was negative in 22 (88%) . We thus obtainedan overall sensitivity of 67%, specificity of 88% andaccuracy of 73%.

Adenoclone is thus concluded to be of value in therapid diagnosis of ocular infection by adenovirusduring the early phase of the disease.
