In an investigation of an outbreak of adenovirus type 8 infection involving over 40 people it was found that the infection spread initially within the eye hospital, but subsequently involved several family contacts and two local hospitals for mentally subnormal patients. Presumptive diagnosis should be possible before subepithelial opacities have developed provided an adequate history is taken, and had that been done in this outbreak it is reasonable to suppose that many cases could have been prevented.
在一项对涉及40多人的8型腺病毒感染暴发的调查中发现,感染最初在眼科医院内传播,但随后涉及了几个家庭接触者以及两家收治智力发育不全患者的当地医院。如果能获取充分的病史,在结膜下浑浊出现之前应能做出初步诊断,而在此次暴发中若做到了这一点,有理由认为许多病例本可避免。
