Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis due to enterovirus 70 in India.
An outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis occurred in Delhi, India, during August and September 1996. The etiologic agent was confirmed as enterovirus type 70 by a modified centrifugation-enhanced culture method followed by immunofluorescence and neutralization tests. After nearly a decade, this virus is reemerging as a cause of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in India.
متن کاملAn enterovirus type 70 epidemic of acute conjunctivitis in peninsular Malaysia, 1980.
Outbreaks of acute viral conjunctivitis due to enteroviruses have been recorded in Malaysia since 1969 when enterovirus type 70 was incriminated for the first time as a cause of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) throughout the world in 1969-71. The pandemic was reported in Africa, Asia (including Malaysia) and England (Mirkovic et al., 1973). The outbreak in Malaysia then was localised to...
متن کاملGenetic and antigenic analysis of type O and A FMD viruses isolated in Iran
FMD is one of the most highly contagious diseases of animals, caused by RNA virus belong to Picornaviridae family and Aphtovirus genus. A broad host range and occurrence of FMDV as seven serotypes and also intratypic antigenic variation without clear cut demarcations, which interferes with a concept of sub typing these factors make difficult conditions to diagnosis, control and eradication of...
متن کاملA study of the neurological disorder associated with acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis due to enterovirus 70.
Ninety cases of the neurological manifestations associated with acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis caused by Enterovirus 70 (EV 70) are reported. The patients were seen during the widespread epidemics in 1971 and 1981. Male adults were predominantly affected by a "polio-like" paralysis of the limbs and/or cranial nerves. Root pains were often complained of early in the disease. In the absence of...
متن کاملIdentification of a new strain of fastidious enterovirus 70 as the causative agent of an outbreak of hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.
A 1994 outbreak of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Israel was caused by an enterovirus 70 strain that was distinct from previously reported strains. Characterization was by electron microscopy (eye washes), reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR; eyewash, specimens, eye swabs, and tears), and sequence analysis of RT-PCR-amplified fragments from the 5' noncoding region and VP1.
