D J Spalton, S Palmer, L C Logan

    The British Journal of Ophthalmology
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Echo 11 virus, previously known for severe childhood illness, caused conjunctivitis in a lab worker. This highlights a new ocular manifestation of Echo 11 virus infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Echo 11 virus (Echovirus type 11) is a recognized cause of systemic illness, particularly in pediatric populations.
    • Echoviruses are a group of enteroviruses known for their diverse clinical manifestations.

    Observation:

    • A laboratory worker developed moderately severe conjunctivitis after handling infected material.
    • The conjunctivitis was directly linked to exposure to Echo 11 virus in a research setting.

    Findings:

    • This case documents a novel presentation of Echo 11 virus infection manifesting as ocular disease.
    • The findings suggest that conjunctivitis can be a clinical outcome of Echo 11 virus infection, even in adults.

    Implications:

    • This expands the known clinical spectrum of Echo 11 virus infections.
    • It underscores the importance of considering viral conjunctivitis in individuals with potential occupational exposure to enteroviruses.
    • Further research into echovirus-induced ocular manifestations is warranted.
