Abstract:
Sera from 108 elderly patients in psychiatric and general hospitals were tested for antibodies to seven viruses. Measles virus antibody levels were significantly higher in patients from the psychiatric hospital, regardless of diagnosis, than in those from other hospitals. Demented patients, regardless of their hospital, had significantly higher levels of antibody to adenovirus than control patients.
