Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the etiology of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) in Qingdao during 1997. METHODS: During the AHC epidemic season viruses from the conjunctival swabs were isolated in Hela and Hep-2 cell cultures and were identified by neutralization test. RESULTS: All isolated virus strains were identified as (CA24) v and adenoviruses (Adv) by neutralization test with antisera of CA24 v, Echo virus 70(EV70), CA24, CA24 v of Beijing local strain, Ad3, Ad7 and Ad11. CONCLUSION: In 1997, a small epidemic of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis was caused by adenoviuses and CA24 v.
