During the summer of 1975 an ongoing outbreak of conjunctivitis occurred among Vietnamese refugees temporarily housed at a U.S. mainland camp. Twenty-two per cent of surveyed refugees gave a history of the disease and 10% were documented as having clinical conjunctivitis at the time of the survey. Fifty-six per cent of documented cases were in children less than 10 years of age. The attack rate among American camp personnel was 4%. Comprehensive microbiologic analysis revealed multiple potential pathogens in most cases, but the recovery of adenovirus 8 (AV8) in 81% of cases cultured within two weeks of onset implicated AV8 as the principal cause of the epidemic.
1975年夏天，在美国本土一个营地临时安置的越南难民中，结膜炎疫情持续爆发。接受调查的难民中有22%曾患过该病，调查时10%的难民有临床结膜炎记录。记录在案的病例中有56%是10岁以下的儿童。美国营地工作人员的发病率为4%。全面的微生物学分析显示，大多数病例存在多种潜在病原体，但在发病两周内培养的病例中，81%检测出腺病毒8型（AV8），这表明AV8是此次疫情的主要病因。
