Abstract
RELIABLE information concerning the association of clinical illness with the higher-numbered adenoviruses (Types 19 through 28) has been extremely limited. Only 1 case of documented illness has been reported.1 The following case of infection with adenovirus Type 22 provided an opportunity to follow the clinical and laboratory course of this infection.Clinical SummaryA 22-year-old female laboratory technician inadvertently sprayed a small quantity of tissue-culture fluid containing adenovirus Type 22 in her left eye on June 30, 1961. She immediately washed her face and eye with running tap water and took particular care to avoid contamination of her right eye. . . .Keywords
