The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of adenoviral conjunctivitis by analyzing data from a prospective clinical study of 50 consecutive patients presenting to the Wills Eye Hospital Emergency Room (WEH ER) with a clinical diagnosis of infectious conjunctivitis from July 2003 to October 2003.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to evaluate all cases of clinically diagnosed infectious conjunctivitis. Based on the laboratory findings, the prevalence of adenovirus was determined.
Of the 50 consecutive patients with acute infectious conjunctivitis, 31 patients were PCR positive for adenovirus.
The prevalence of adenoviral conjunctivitis was found by PCR to represent 62% of all patients presenting with a clinical diagnosis of infectious conjunctivitis from July 2003 to October 2003.
本研究旨在通过分析2003年7月至2003年10月连续50例因临床诊断为感染性结膜炎而就诊于威尔斯眼科医院急诊室（WEH ER）的前瞻性临床研究数据，评估腺病毒性结膜炎的患病率。
采用聚合酶链反应（PCR）对所有临床诊断为感染性结膜炎的病例进行评估。根据实验室检查结果确定腺病毒的患病率。
在50例连续的急性感染性结膜炎患者中，31例腺病毒PCR检测呈阳性。
通过PCR发现，2003年7月至2003年10月期间，所有临床诊断为感染性结膜炎的患者中，腺病毒性结膜炎的患病率为62%。
