  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

There was an intrahospital outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) during 3 months through No-vember 2000. All the hospitalized patients and suspected outpatients underwent immunochromatography. Fifty pa-tients were positive for adenovirus infection, of which 14 were free of subjective symptoms. Slit-lamp examinations showed absence of EKC in 3 of the 14 patients. We performed virological examinations in randomly selected 5 out of the 50 patients. Adenovirus type 8 was isolated in all the 5 patients. The findings show that symptoms may be variable among individuals when infected by the same strain of adenovirus and that apparently symptom-free infected patients need particular attention in order to prevent further epidemics.
