In two epidemics of acute enterovirus conjunctivitis the diagnosis could only be established by the use of human embryonic organ cultures. In one instance cultures of ciliated respiratory epithelium proved sensitive to the virus but similar culture failed to support growth of the virus from the second outbreak which was isolated in organ cultures of conjunctiva. The virus associated with a third outbreak had previously been isolated from the original material by culture in human embryo kidney cells, but it required passage in organ culture for its detection after the specimens had been diluted.
在两次急性肠道病毒结膜炎疫情中,只有通过使用人胚胎器官培养才能确诊。在一个病例中,纤毛呼吸道上皮细胞培养物对该病毒敏感,但类似的培养未能支持从第二次疫情中分离出的病毒生长,该病毒是在结膜器官培养中分离出来的。与第三次疫情相关的病毒此前已通过在人胚肾细胞中培养从原始材料中分离出来,但在标本稀释后,需要在器官培养中传代才能检测到该病毒。
