Identification of coxsackievirus A24 variant during an acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis outbreak in coastal Kenya, 2024

2024-12-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> In early 2024, a surge in acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC), also referred as “red eye” disease, was observed in coastal Kenya, prompting the Ministry of Health to issue an outbreak alert. Herein, we investigated the etiology of this outbreak. <h4>Methods</h4> Ocular swabs were obtained from 13 individuals presenting with AHC at a Mombasa clinic in early February 2024. Ten of these were an...
