✦ Synopsis

Abstract

An outbreak of adenovirus type 4 conjunctivitis occurred in South Australia between April and November 1992. Eye swabs were submitted by general practitioners and ophthalmologists who had seen patients with clinical conjunctivitis or keratitis. Apart from interfamilial spread, there were no other common epidemiological factors. Adenovirus was isolated from the eye swabs of 38 patients. Isolates were typed by neutralisation tests and restriction endonuclease cleavage patterns and found to be adenovirus type 4. This report serves to illustrate an infrequent cause of epidemic conjunctivitis, namely adenovirus type 4. There was no demonstrable focus of the outbreak.

Adenovirus type 3 (Ad3) was the most frequently isolated serotype from patients with conjunctivitis during the period from 1989 to 1991 in Japan. All Ad3 strains isolated in 1990 had an identical genotype, Ad3f. However, in 1992, the predominant serotype was replaced by Ad4. The genome type was exam
