Genome analysis of adenovirus type 4 strains isolated from acute conjunctivitis in Japan.

چکیده
Strains of adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) isolated from patients with acute conjunctivitis were studied by DNA restriction analysis. The strains were isolated between July and December 1990 in Japan. All 63 isolates of Ad4 were identified as the genome type Ad4a. This study showed that the same Ad4 genome type, Ad4a, caused acute viral conjunctivitis, even in different areas of 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 ...

Adenovirus type 3 (Ad3) isolates, isolated from 45 patients with acute conjunctivitis during the year 1990 in Japan, were studied by DNA restriction enzyme analysis with restriction endonucleases recognizing 6-bp sequences (BamHI, SmaI, HindIII, BglII) and endonucleases recognizing 5- or 4-bp sequences (HinfI and TaqI). All 45 isolates of Ad3 were identified as the genome type Ad3f by six endon...

PURPOSE To detect the genetic changes in adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) by DNA restriction endonuclease analysis during 1993-1995, when no epidemic outbreak of conjunctivitis occurred. METHODS We evaluated 16 Ad4 strains from patients with acute viral conjunctivitis at four eye clinics in Sapporo, northern Japan. Seven strains were obtained during the period from December 1993 through March 1994 (fi...
متن کاملNew genome type of adenovirus serotype 4 caused nosocomial infections associated with epidemic conjunctivitis in Japan.
Human adenovirus type 4 is one of the major serotypes isolated from patients with adenoviral conjunctivitis. In 2001 we encountered nosocomial infections with epidemic conjunctivitis in the ophthalmology ward of one hospital in Sapporo, which is in the northern part of Japan. Adenoviruses were isolated from the patients with this nosocomial infection and identified as adenovirus type 4 (AdV-4) ...
متن کاملGenome typing of adenovirus type 34 isolated in two cases of conjunctivitis in Sapporo, Japan.
Two cases of conjunctivitis caused by adenovirus type 34 (Ad34) are reported. The isolates were identified as Ad34 by the neutralization test and the PCR-sequence method of the hexon gene but as Ad14 by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. The genome types of these two isolates were identical to that of Ad34a.
