A case of chronic intestinal infection due to adenovirus type 40 lasting for 13 months in a patient with AIDS is described. Adenovirus particles were detected by electron microscopy in biopsy samples taken from the duodenum 3 months after the onset of diarrhoea. The virus was identified as adenovirus type 40 in stool samples by ELISA monoclonal antibodies to adenovirus group antigen (MAd-g2) and types 40 and 41 (MA 40-1 and MA 41-1). No other enteropathogens were found. These data support a causal relationship between adenovirus 40 and the gastrointestinal symptoms of the patient. This is the first reported case of intestinal infection caused by adenovirus type 40 in a patient with AIDS.
本文描述了一名艾滋病患者因40型腺病毒引起慢性肠道感染长达13个月的病例。腹泻发作3个月后,通过电子显微镜在取自十二指肠的活检样本中检测到腺病毒颗粒。通过针对腺病毒群抗原(MAd-g2)以及40型和41型(MA 40-1和MA 41-1)的ELISA单克隆抗体,在粪便样本中鉴定出该病毒为40型腺病毒。未发现其他肠道病原体。这些数据支持40型腺病毒与该患者胃肠道症状之间存在因果关系。这是首例报道的艾滋病患者由40型腺病毒引起的肠道感染病例。
