Novel human adenovirus causing nosocomial epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.
In 2000, we encountered cases of nosocomial infections with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) at a university hospital in Kobe, in the western part of Japan. Two human adenovirus (HAdV) strains, Kobe-H and Kobe-S, were isolated from patients with nosocomial EKC infection. They were untypeable by existing neutralizing antisera; however, the isolate was neutralized with homologous antisera. We ...
متن کاملGenome variability of human adenovirus type 8 causing epidemic keratoconjunctivitis during 1986-2003 in Japan
PURPOSE Epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) is a contagious acute conjunctivitis associated with community-acquired infection. Human adenovirus type 8 (HAdV-8) is one of the major serotypes isolated from patients with EKC. DNA restriction enzyme analyses were performed to investigate the genetic characteristics of the isolates and their chronological pattern. METHODS Viral samples were taken ...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of a novel human adenovirus type 8 strain causing a prolonged, multi-state keratoconjunctivitis epidemic in Germany
The German infectious disease surveillance system revealed an increase of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) from an average of 320 cases/year (2001 to 2010) up to 2146 and 1986 cases in 2012 and 2013, respectively. From November 2011 until December 2013 (epidemic period) 85% of typed isolates were human adenovirus type 8 (HAdV-D8), whereas only low level circulation (19%) of HAdV-D8 was obser...

متن کاملA molecular epidemiologic study of human adenovirus type 8 isolates causing epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in Kawasaki City, Japan in 2011.
A local outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) caused by human adenovirus type 8 (HAdV-D8) occurred in Kawasaki city, Japan in July-August 2011. Since the cases were sporadic in nature, the source of the infection could not be identified. The results of PCR analysis and the appearance of cytopathic effects in the samples indicated that 22 patients were positive for HAdV. The mean a...
