RESULTS
Of the total 60 episodes carried out, 19
(31.7%) episodes were positive for CA24v,
whereas 32 (53.3%) episodes were positive
for AdV. In 7 (11.6%) episodes, both CA24v
and AdV were positives. None of the episodes
was positive for Enterovirus 70 (Table 2, Fig
2). Bacterial and fungal cultures were sterile
except the growth of normal bacterial flora
(Staphylococcus epidermidis and diphtheroid
bacilli) in 6 (10.0%) of the cases studied (Table
2). Conversely, one of five notes (10 Rupee)
was positive for AdV (Table 3). Most of the
CA24v and AdV positive cases fell in the age
groups of teens to 30s and teens to 40s, respectively.
No differences in the detection rate
of CA24v and AdV were seen between two
genders (Table 2). The follow-up of some of
the positive cases (after three months of the
epidemic) showed no virus in both conjunctival
swabs as well as Nepalese Rupee notes.
