  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

There was a mass outbreak of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis in our department during summer, 1996. It involved 29 victims and occurred either during or after hospitalization, during visits as outpatient, or in attending physicians. All the cases underwent examination by AdenocheckTM within 10 days, resulting in positive rate of 78%. The serotype proved to be adenovirus type 8 by rapid PCR-RFLP method. Patients receiving topical or systemic corticosteroid tended to show severe subepithelial corneal opacities. The adenovirus neutralizing antibody in the serum was elevated to more than 4 times in 69% of patients. It was positive in 2 out of 32 (6%) physicians and nurses in the department. The epidemic ceased in one month without closing the ward. The findings illustrate the importance of rapid diagnosis, detection and immediate preventive efforts in such nosocomical infections.
