Why the study?
Does the quantity of adenoviruses on direct electron microscopy predict the presence of subgenus F or G adenoviruses in acutely ill diarrhea patients?
Does the quantity of adenoviruses on direct electron microscopy predict the presence of subgenus F or G adenoviruses in acutely ill diarrhea patients?
The quantity of adenoviruses observed via direct electron microscopy provides a strong presumptive indication of subgenus F or G adenoviruses in diarrhea patients.
Higher particle counts on electron microscopy were associated with subgenus F/G adenoviruses; leaves open whether this guides testing in acute diarrhea.
The quantity of adenoviruses in a diarrhea stool provided a strong presumptive indication of the presence or absence of an adenovirus from subgenus F or G (proposed species 40 or 41). These adenoviruses were found in the stools of 91% of 56 acutely ill diarrhea patients with one or more than one adenovirus particle per min of direct electron microscopic viewing, as compared with 40% of 20 acutely ill diarrhea patients with less than one detected adenovirus particle per min of viewing.
