We report the first nine confirmed cases of human adenovirus 14p1 infection (HAdV-14p1), identified at different locations in Ireland between October 2009 and July 2010. These were the first notifications in Ireland and all were sporadic cases. Following these notifications, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre set up an enhanced surveillance system for HAdV-14p1 infection. Seven cases were male and five were aged less than one year. Three patients died, giving a case fatality rate of 33%. It should be noted that cases presented here were diagnosed on presentation to hospital and may represent the severe end of the spectrum of HAdV 14 disease in Ireland.
我们报告了 9 例在爱尔兰不同地区于 2009 年 10 月至 2010 年 7 月之间确诊的人腺病毒 14p1 感染(HAdV-14p1)病例。这是爱尔兰首次通报的病例,且均为散发病例。在接到这些通报后,爱尔兰卫生保护监测中心为 HAdV-14p1 感染建立了强化监测系统。7 例为男性,5 例年龄小于 1 岁。3 名患者死亡,病死率为 33%。需要指出的是,这里报告的病例是在就诊时确诊的,可能代表了爱尔兰 HAdV 14 疾病谱的严重端。
