Adenovirus mixture isolated from the brain of an AIDS patient with encephalitis.

A mixture of adenoviruses 31 and 49 was isolated from the brain of an AIDS patient with encephalitis. Adenovirus hexon protein was detected in neurons by indirect immunofluorescence. By restriction endonuclease analysis both adenovirus 31 and 49 were shown to be new genotypes. This is the first report of the isolation of a mixture of adenoviruses from adenovirus encephalitis and the first association of adenovirus 49, a new candidate serotype, with encephalitis.

Two new candidate adenovirus serotypes.

Two new adenovirus (AV) subgenus D serotypes, which we propose as AV candidates 48 and 49, are described. Both AV 48 and 49 were unique by serum neutralization and the pattern of restriction endonuclease fragments. By the hemagglutination inhibition assay there was a significant reciprocal cross between AV 48 and 44 and one-way crosses between AV 48 and AV 37 sera and between AV 30 and AV 49 sera. Eleven AV 48 and 5 AV 49 isolates, mainly from AIDS patients, have been identified at the Viral and Rickettsial Disease Laboratory.

Clostridium difficile toxin as a confounding factor in enterovirus isolation.

A peculiar cytotoxic effect, occasionally encountered in the course of inoculating cell cultures with fecal specimens for routine enterovirus isolation attempts, was shown to be produced by Clostridium difficile toxin.
