epidemiological and virological study of a conjunctivitis epidemic in delhi in 1975. 1977200555
an epidemic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis caused by coxsackie a24 variant.an epidemic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc) caused by a variant of coxsackie a24 (cox a24) occurred in delhi during august to september 1988. cox a24 antigen was detected by indirect immunofluorescence (ifa) in conjunctival cell smears of 13 of the 38 (34.2%) patients studied. virus was isolated from conjunctival swabs in 11 (28.9%) patients and all isolates were neutralized by cox a24 antiserum. five virus strains sent to virology division of centres for disease control, atlanta, usa ...19921337897
study of an outbreak of epidemic conjunctivitis in delhi in 1986.an epidemic of acute conjunctivitis occurred in delhi during july-september 1986. the clinical presentation in total of 350 patients were characteristic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis (ahc). bacterial cultures from conjunctival swabs were sterile in 85 out of 105 (80%) patients, virus cultures in vero and hela cells were negative in 30 patients. however, conjunctival scrapes from 20/30 (66.7%) patients showed specific cytoplasmic fluorescence with enterovirus 70 (ev 70) antiserum, suggesti ...19892632413

poliomyelitis vaccination of infants: preimmunization status and seroconversion.a study was carried out in delhi on the preimmunization status of infants aged 2-6 months with regard to poliomyelitis and on seroconversion after the administration of oral poliomyelitis vaccine. it was found that 30.3% of the 204 infants included in the study excreted enteroviruses, 58% of which were found to be polioviruses. of 197 sera examined for neutralizing antibodies against different types of poliovirus, 73% were found to be triple negative and only 4.0% triple positive. three doses of ...19734352611

a simple device for the concentration and detection of enterovirus, hepatitis e virus and rotavirus from water samples by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.a simultaneous concentration of enteroviruses, hepatitis e virus, and rotavirus from drinking water samples through a filtration column filled with granular activated carbon (gac) was achieved. urea-arginine phosphate buffer (uapb) as an eluent at ph 9.0 was used for effective desorption and elution of viruses from gac. further concentration of viruses with magnesium chloride enabled nucleic acid extraction, cdna synthesis, amplification with a specific set of primers for enterovirus, hepatitis ...19958609205
an epidemic of viral acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis in delhi in 1994.an epidemic of acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis affecting persons of all ages and both sexes occurred in delhi and surrounding areas during the monsoon season of 1994. the symptoms lasted on an average for 4-5 days. in some of the patients corneal involvement was observed. conjunctival swabs from the affected patients were processed for viral antigen detection, virus isolation and bacterial culture and sensitivity. viral antigen was detected in 62% (31/50) of the smears tested by indirect immun ...19968828301
an outbreak of acute conjunctivitis due to coxsackie a24 virus in delhi. 19979282517
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.199910221880
hand-foot-and-mouth disease in calicut.hand-foot-and-mouth disease (hfmd) is a mild exanthematous illness seen worldwide, affecting mainly children under ten years of age. the causative agents were initially coxsackie virus type a 16 and related serotypes. the situation changed drastically about thirty years ago with the advent of a new aetiological agent, enterovirus type 71 (ev 71), which has caused very large outbreaks with severe complications and many deaths.200515684442
