An outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis caused by adenovirus type 37.

Journal of medical microbiology - 1 Jan 1998

Curtis S, Wilkinson G W, Westmoreland D

Abstract excerpt

An outbreak of acute keratoconjunctivitis in an ophthalmology department affected 15 patients and seven members of staff and necessitated temporary closure of the unit. Adenovirus (Ad) was isolated from eye swabs taken during the outbreak, but typing of the isolates by virus neutralisation assay...
