title: Neurologic complications with elevated antibody titer after acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.
abstract: Nine patients with polyradiculomyeloneuropathy after acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) infection were studied serologically. All except one patient had neutralization titers larger than or equal to 1:16 against the prototype J670/71 strain of AHC virus in at least one of their serum samples. The development of a significant fourfold rise in antibody titer against AHC virus occurred in one of the patients who developed neurologic complications five days after the onset of AHC infection.
