Abstract:
101 paired sera from patients with proved adenovirus infections (mostly conjunctivitis) were tested quantitatively by counter immunoelectrophoresis, with hexon of adenovirus 5 as a genus-specific antigen, in comparison with complement-fixation. Both methods were equally sensitive to demonstrate antibodies; also the titers showed a marked correlation. The number of titer rises, however, was higher in counter immunoelectrophoresis; the titer rises mostly occurred around the 10th day after onset of disease. No differences between patients infected with different adenovirus types were found.
