epidemic viral enteritis in a long-stay children's ward.two outbreaks of acute gastroenteritis occurred in 1974 in a long-stay children's ward. electron microscopy demonstrated rotaviruses in faeces from the affected children in the first outbreak, and adenoviruses in faeces from affected children and a nurse in the second outbreak. the illness in both outbreaks was very mild; but the diarrhoea associated with rotavirus infection usually lasted 5-8 days (in one patient it lasted for 28 days) and sometimes started with vomiting; whereas the adenovirus ...197546358
adenovirus type 7; 1971-74.the spread of adenovirus type 7 in england and wales between 1971 and 1974 and the clinical features of infections with this virus were investigated in a retrospective study of virological reports and patients' clinical records. an epidemic in 1972-74 apparently stared in the north-east and spread to the south-west. between march 1973 and the end of october 1974 the virus was recovered in 59 of 74 specimens from 42 patients. the mean age of the patients was 9 years, which suggests that a large p ...197662264
respiratory viral infection in childhood. a survey in general practice, roehampton 1967-1972.the role of viruses and m. pneumoniae in episodes of acute respiratory illness in childhood has been studied in a london general practice. the total isolation rate was 31-7 per cent, but the rate varied from 32-6 per cent in upper respiratory infections to 64-0 per cent in pneumonia. the clinical features associated with infection were influenced not only by the type of agent but also by age and other host factors in infected children. rhinoviruses were more commonly isolated than any other agen ...1975164499

virus isolations from patients in general practice, 1961-71.during the period 1961-71 of 1785 viruses isolated from patients in the general population 503 (28%) were rhinoviruses, 465 (26%) influenza viruses, 248 (14%) enteroviruses, 234 (13%) herpes simplex virus, 132 (7%) parainfluenza viruses, 129 (7%) adenoviruses and 49 (3%) respiratory syncytial virus. also isolated were 18 strains of mumps virus, 7 coronaviruses and 295 streptococci of groups a, c or g.fluctuations were observed in the frequency with which respiratory syncytial virus, parainfluenz ...19744362413

prevalence of acute conjunctivitis caused by chlamydia, adenovirus, and herpes simplex virus in an ophthalmic casualty department.the causes of acute conjunctivitis in 140 consecutive patients attending an ophthalmic casualty department in london were investigated. laboratory evidence of infection with chlamydia trachomatis, adenovirus, or herpes simplex virus was found in 52 (37%) cases. in 70 cases (50%) no evidence of infection with these agents was found. in the remaining 18 cases (13%) laboratory results were inconclusive. the importance of these findings, the role of laboratory investigations in the differential diag ...19846087876
a large outbreak of keratoconjunctivitis due to adenovirus type 8.a large nosocomial outbreak of keratoconjunctivitis due to adenovirus type 8 is described. two hundred cases were identified, 123 by isolation of the virus and 77 by detecting hi antibodies in convalescent sera. infection usually presented as a severe keratoconjunctivitis, and 107 (54%) of infected patients developed sub-epithelial corneal opacities. the majority (66%) of infections were acquired at the accident and emergency department attached to a large urban eye hospital when patients attend ...19846094666
adenovirus cross-infection: a continuing problem.nosocomial outbreaks of epidemics of adenovirus keratoconjunctivitis are frequently reported even though the simple measures to prevent or limit such occurrences are well documented. there have been two such outbreaks associated with the accident and emergency department (a&e) of a large, urban eye hospital in recent years. in the first--involving at least 200 cases--there was a delay of two months in initiation of control measures, with consequent potentiation and prolongation of the outbreak. ...19957560960

respiratory viruses in adult liver transplant recipients.the contribution of respiratory viruses to respiratory disease in adult liver transplant (lt) recipients has not been studied. we performed a prospective audit to document the incidence of respiratory syncytial viruses ([rsvs], parainfluenza virus, influenza virus, and adenovirus) after lt, and to determine their contribution to respiratory disease in this setting.199910532538

ten years of viral and non-bacterial serology in adults with cystic fibrosis.viral infections are associated with pulmonary exacerbations in children with cystic fibrosis (cf), but few studies have addressed the frequency in adults. this paper investigates the frequency and impact of viral infections in adults with cf receiving intravenous antibiotics. pre- and post-treatment spirometry, inflammatory markers and antibody titres against influenza a, influenza b, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia psittaci, and coxiella burnetti were ...200817352838
