[Virologic diagnosis of an outbreak of epidemic hemorrhagic conjunctivitis by an indirect immunofluorescence technique. Cuba.1989].
The causative agent of an hemorrhagic conjunctivitis outbreak was assessed through the study of 18 conjunctival exudates using the indirect immunofluorescence technique and isolation in cell culture of human embryo fibroblasts. In addition, 395 paired serum samples were studied and Enterovirus 70 was found to be responsible for the outbreak.
